Why?

Why do we prefer to look down
So in our own fears we drown
Unable to hear for the sound
Of the eternal frown

Sometimes i cannot see
Why we just cant let people be
Let you be you and me be me
Instead of acceptance we flee

I struggle to just be myself
To not get dragged down by everyone else
And allow my inner to melt
Sometimes i feel it would be easier if not felt

Can we not just raise our head
And wake up out of this bed
Its time our knowledge we fed
Stop us being mis-led

These are the problems we face
In a world that has no base
I hope we can all present a good case
When for those pearly gates we race

Was this the intention of our breed
To grow up in a world of eternal greed
From one tiny little seed
A whole world we must feed

I hasten to add and not in jest
To our lives we must add zest
This whole new world we have messed
Why stray so far from our nest

Why do we prefer to look down
So in our fears we drown
Unable to hear for the sound
We can never smile due to the frown
