Tell Me Why


Tell me why life has to be so compliacted

With many ups and downs

And lots of turn arounds

Growing up is not how I anticipated

Tell me why the one you like doesn't like you back

I've tried everything

But he never seems to notice me

Maybe there's some beauty that I lack

Tell me why society is so cruel

Girls don't have to be a size two

Makeup shouldn't be what makes guys drool

It should be the fact that we can use tools

Tell me why school is so hard

It's like everywhere there's a who's hot, who's not board

Who's going to make it, who's not board

All i want is to make a shut up and kiss the floor board

Tell me why people can be so mean

Bullying can cause so much violence

But all you see when you pass by is silence

I should punch you but I won't be mean like you

Tell me why we should look up to you

You don't rule the school

To me you're just a fool

We don't need you, pack your stuff and move

Tell me why there are class rankings

We don't need a class president or v.p.

We don't need a democracy

All of it is bogus, you see

Tell me why there are people who think they're better

All they do is pack themselves with makeup on

It oftne looks like cake batter

Many don't need to pack on a ton

Tell me why people want to be like others

Can't they see we can be ourselves

Leave looking like one another to the otters

Or maybe the dancing elves

Tell me why we have to like you

When all you do is judge

People are afraid of you

But I am not, I can judge too

Tell me WHY?
