Why? well because!


I’m sitting in AP Biology and I’m asking why.

Why do people cry?

Why do bees dance to explain directions?

Why is the world round?

Why is the flu so deadly?

Why?

There are so many things to think about but, 

Why?

Why do we think?

Why do we exist?

Why do we feel?

Why?

Questions that are impossible to answer.

But I want to know,

correction.

Need to know,

Why?

Understanding how people tick is what makes me tick.

It gets my thoughts racing and it makes me crave answers.

I ask Why? because I want a,

Because.

Explanations make me tick,

because,

without them I wouldn't ask,

Why?
