Why? (a poem)
August 7, 2015
Why, red as it shows up on the street
Why, black as it surrounds me
Why, pink it used to show in your cheeks
Why, can't these let me be?
Why, brown as it used to be your hair
Why, blue as you wore it everywhere
Why, purple as it showed up with a flare
Why, can't I be elsewhere?
Why, gold as you wove it in a braid
Why, silver as you threw your life away
Why, grey as my life seems like a masquerade
Why, couldn't you come to me straightaway?
Why, are these colors reminding me
Why, didn't you let me in
Why, did you leave it be
Why, couldn't I be your heroine?
Why, did you leave this world withour me? Why?

I wrote this when I was having a rough time and my friends instantly had my back and asked if I was okay. I hope that anyone who is having hard times has someone that they can go to.
