"Why?"

Poetry, an art of portraying emotions

Lyrics and sonnets no different to each other

Setting the mind and the soul into motion

Bringing dreams and reality into one another

Yet people use it to write of dark

Sorrow, rage, and hopelessness arc

Telling of despair

Shadows of demise and pain

Trapped in agony

Sinking to their knees and cry

…Why? …Let me tell you why

They have nothing better to do with their life

Just sulk and do nothing to change it

Deathly close of suicide with their knife

I say stop this madness and rearrange it

Life is unfair, yes, but don't mope about it

Learn to live it to the fullest, don't just pout it

Keep your head held high

Without a care in the world

Live in happiness

Write of optimism, write of joy

Write of tranquility, write of light

Not of pessimism, not of sorrow

Not of chaos, not of darkness

Use poetry as a tool of beauty, not of pain

Enlighten others so their darkness slowly wanes

Use love, not hatred, to climb up high

…Why? …For only then can you truly fly
