Why Anything?

by Jenny A. / Aquarius - Not entered

Why live when you could die
Why tell the truth when you could lie
Why be up when you could be down 
why have noise instead of no sound 
Why use a knife when you've got a gun
Have it dark, have no sun
Why be happy if you could be sad
Why be good instead of bad
Why smile when you could frown
Just jump; don't look down
Why eat when you could drink
Why float instead of sink
Why have friends instead of none
Waste your life, there's only one
Why wake when you could sleep
Why give instead of keep
Why together and not alone
Why holler when you could moan
Why hard instead of easy
Why be clean when you could be sleazy
Why bitch when you could fight
Kick their ass, you have the right
Why the sun and not the moon
Why now instead of soon

Reason for writing:

    At the time I wrote this poem, I belived that I didn't deserve to live; that I had no purpose of being put on earth.
