Poetry Contest Description
Write a poem about the why's in your life
I feel like we can never stop asking why. There is so much unanswered and so much we dont know. There are things that happen, things we cant stop. In the end I always come to ask why?
Why do you ask why, what type of answer are you searching for, and if your why has been answered you could write about that to.
No rules
Collabs are welcome

Why
The evil twisted pervert
walks gun gripping , fisted
from his den of sick covert .
A sad ear
can hear
the news at ten ,
you know that they've all gone
an attitude of anger and disbelief
you don .
Family life
turns to devastation
beneath the skies
of emotional combustion ,
as tiny lives
leave this rock of rotation
we ask why , was this allowed to happen .
The beast from hell
and his satan , stained
normality's , maimed
bloody apparell .
I sit here and I think why ,
how come
a scrape of scum
wielding a gun
can send little people
to an opal sky
far past our sun .
How come
such a murderous moron
was allowed to breathe the same air ,
it isn't fair
why , we all think
did they have to leave and climb heavens stairs .
Mental eyes of evil
stare at a school ,
a mad devil
so twisted ,so cruel.
Blasted shots ,
blasted life ,
blasted down like cooling towers ,
funeral plots ,rememberance tiles
and beautiful flowers .
Never to forget
forever we lament .
So much grief ,
so much total , sadness
because of a mind of complete and utter madness.
Roll on judgement day
for I'm sure you're going to pay ,
you sick , evil man , of rabies ,
for god's sake
they were barely awake
as they were just babies .

In this world we all strive
To find someone who cares about us
Who sees you as a deserving individual
Not just a tool for personal gain
But this is so hard today
People just wanna use each other
Then just forget about them
Whatever happened to true friends?
Why?
Why is it so hard to find someone
Who truly cares about you
When it’s the easiest thing
To find someone who just takes what they want
Then leaves you behind?
The world used to be connected
Neighbors would look out for each other
One by one creating a global chain of trust
There was never someone ever left alone
But now even with new technologies
To help strengthen the chain
It has deteriorated so much
Cause people have become so self-obsessed
Is it too late to find a real friend?

When it’s so hard to trust somebody
Cause there’s so many
Who just wanna suck the life out of you?

I'm not who you think I am
I'm not the calm person you see
What you see before you is the face
That I have forged to fit in with you all
If it weren't for my vast knowledge
And my natural understanding
Of the inner workings of the mind
You would see the horrible real me
I am at heart a sadist and questioner
I'm the kind of person who looks up
To greats like John Kramer and Josef Mengele
For their pursuits of pain and understanding
If it weren't for my understanding
Of the common person's mind
I would be my inner-self all the time
Always testing the limits of body and will
These eyes of mine see more than most
I can instantly tell your weakest points
And be able to exploit your darkest fears
Just from the look of your eye and sound of voice
I lust to not only test myself but others too
To see how far one would go to save their life
Or even the lives of one they cherish
To witness the extents of love and hatred
In this society I can never know
What I have always constantly wondered
The real me must always stay locked away
Cause the normal mind cannot understand
To play the game, to test the body and will
To create environments that push the limits
Would most overcome their fears for true love
Or would they throw it away and save themselves
I'm not the kind of person you think I am
You only ever see the face I've forged
For the innocent minds to witness
To hide from this world my constant wonder
That most would deem me a psychopath for
But seeing how it's all for knowledge
Am I really that evil?
I'm not the calm person you see

Why I make this choice..
A pathetic statement reaches my lips,
I swallow it down, bit by bit.
I bite my tongue so they won't know,
The stories that I have left untold.
The pain sends me into ecstasy,
they've taken everything else from me.
The blade is always there,
to lift the agony that I bare.
The razor is my only friend,
It's always there in the end.
It doesn't laugh, taunt, or tease,
It's only use is to please.

Why? (A Thought Process of Questioning My Life)
Why. . .
...
Was I born as the person that I am right now? Why not someone else? With a father that didn't drink? And a mother that didn't let her past problems get in the way of taking care of me? Why did my best friend leave me? Why did a guy that never met me fall in love with me? Why did my mother have to remarry an asshole that ruined my life? Why did that guy I never met break my heart? Why did my step-father hate me? Why did I try to kill myself? Why didn't anyone save me from him? Why did I quit school? Why am I afraid of school now? Why I am living in a hotel? Why did I get evicted from my apartment? Why did I fall in love with one of my friends? Why did I date her for a year and three months and then cheated on her? Why did I bring my best friend, now boyfriend into my problems? Why did I start cutting? When did all of these problems start? Why couldn't my father just be a dad? Why did my grandparent die? Why did my dog die? Why did my dad abandon my cat? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why did I love two people for the longest time? Why are there more questions than answers in the world? Why is it so hard to answer these questions, though I know the answer to all of them...
Why did I write this rant?
Why would anyone care?
...
And if they did,
why?...
Why. . .

My shadow is gone,
I'm truly alone.
This reality is surreal,
Thoughts buried in thoughts,
Within the ticks of time,
Nothing real remains real.
I think I think too much,
So I started thinking about thinking,
One answer I dearly seek.
I'm torn between doubts,
I hope against hope,
To see a bigger picture,
To see past my self,
In this world of mirrors.
Yet I know better,
My thoughts will only delve deeper,
Please spare such trouble,
Feel free, burst my bubble.
Just answer my big "WHY?",
WHY on earth am I am alive?
I'm truly alone.

Why
I've always wanted to ask you 'why'
Lord, knows how many times I tried,
But then maybe it's always been my pride
That never let me ask you 'why'
So here it is, I'll finally ask
Why – why was I never good enough?
Why did you tell me you love me,
Then watched me bask in your bluff?
Why did you come back,
Making promises you never intended to keep?
And why is that I have come to believe,
That so many enjoy, thinking they've made me weep?
Do you all think I'm so strong,
That I can stand beneath all the lies,
That with every promise broken,
Not another piece of me dies?
Why! I don't understand why,
What is it about me that makes them claim such devotion,
And then leave without a second thought,
As though I'm a creature without emotion.
I hurt, don't you understand,
It hurts me so,
All the falseness,
Every time you decide to go
But I'm not sorry, that I come off strong
And I'm not sorry I can stand on my own two feet
I don't need you to hold me up,
And I don't need you to feel complete
I've always wanted to ask you 'why'
Lord, knows how many times I tried,
But then maybe it's always been my pride
That never let me ask you 'why'

Why?
Why do we still care when our hearts are broke?
The words that they have said; we choke;
Is it the feeling that we are now left alone;
Even though from all the hurt that they have shown.
The lies and days wondering when will they call;
Wondering if they remember us at all.
We wait for them like a dog wants z treat;
Just to know the next time; when will we meet.
Why?
Why do we wish them to come back to us?
Even though they will stick us under the bus.
Is it because it's all that we have learned?
Do we like the pain? Do we like the burn?
It seems we go back to where it all began;
That one day that they gave us their hand.
To feel that touch that we needed so much;
Now we lie to ourselves: it's used as a crutch.
Why?
Why do we still have them in our life?
Even though thru the chaos and strife.
We still reach out for their hand;
Just to look at us funny and not understand.
Twisted and torn they left our heart;
Not knowing that they consumed it for the most part.
Once you were friends before lovers;
More and more lies as it uncovers.
Why?
Why do we still see them when they don't seem sought;
All the love they once gave us...we thought.
We ask ourselves as we look up above;
Their is only one reason...we are still in love.

Why?
I made you death
before my eyes
under tainted clouds
of inverted days
bring you your dreams
on a silver platter
to let go and forget
for I made you death
Weakened flame
struggling for fame
to reach and soothe
the eyes of tame
a vacuum of light
in twisted night
empty into blueish sky
for I made you death, that is why.
In this black all is one
it's more fun when I'm blind
and rips in my skin open slow
drain scarlet purity out of vein
and into the mind, now deranged
lost in your pain, how strange
returning wisps of your last breath
envelop my madness
for I made you death
I made you death
before my eyes
under tainted clouds
of inverted days
bring you your dreams
on a silver platter
to let go and forget
for I made you death
Weakened flame
struggling for fame
to reach and soothe
the eyes of tame
a vacuum of light
in twisted night
empty into blueish sky
for I made you death, that is why.
