why
why do we sleep at night knowing we might die
why are we happy when we know we die in the end
why do we live if we have nothing to live for
why do we tell ourselves it will get better when we know it dosnt
why do we jump if we know we get hurt
why do we think everything is fine when its not
why do we fall for people when we get crushed
why are we trying to feel better when we know we cant
why do we live if we know die in the end
why do we do everything that we do
why are we happy when we know we die in the end
why do we live if we have nothing to live for
why do we tell ourselves it will get better when we know it dosnt
why do we jump if we know we get hurt
why do we think everything is fine when its not
why do we fall for people when we get crushed
why are we trying to feel better when we know we cant
why do we live if we know die in the end
why do we do everything that we do

brilliant write, questions a lot of people probably ask themselves often.

This is nice. I ask these questions to myself all the time and wonder how people conceal their challenges with optimism.

the reason we do what we do is becuse we have to we know that if we jump we get hurt we fall in love we get hurt we know we will all die in the end but we still try to live and the reason why that is is becuse we are only human like plants and animals we have instins in us too we have to sleep we have to eat we have to live even when we dont want to becuse our minds and body tell us too its like sticking your face underwater after a while you lose your breath and your body forces you to come up for air . anyway i truly love this poem is amazing keep wrighting :)

Questions make good poems. It keeps the reader interested and at the same time asks himself or herself for the answers to the questions they read. Good write. Keep it up.

It’s a steam of consciousness piece that asks valid questions when reflecting and pondering on life’s decisions.
Well done
