Why Not

January 15, 2020

Is what he always said It was the catchphrase they knew to capitalize on But I never could So instead I listened to the words And why not? He used it to describe making goals To take the shot I never could So instead I described making goals What I want to do with my life But goals are pointless Unless you have a specific point to get to So I thought And all I want is to be good A good person A good friend Good sister Good girlfriend My goal could be instilled now So why not? I'm getting better And I'm trying harder And I don't need a physical inspiration A reason to try Two words can spur me into more action Than I could bring myself to accomplish In 2020 I'll graduate as a valedictorian Why not? I'll go on a road trip without my parents Why not? I'll go to college Why not? I'll be who I want to be because Why not?

Hello! The name I'm going by on the site is Trizdy Plat. I began writing poems in ninth grade, when I met my first friend at the high school. I had never really thought much about it, but I've always loved writing stories, even thought I'm not very good. I decided to try my hand at poetry instead, and here we are! I mainly write about love and relationships, even though I'm pretty much clueless in both areas. I find that poetry has a way of communicating what you want to say, even if what you're saying makes no sense. Right?
