Just why?

It feels like the world is coming apart at the seams,
Stitched together with the blood of young men's dreams.
It feels like we're losing; we're throwing the fight,
And in the end, with all we've done, we'll never get it right.

The world is against us.
Life isn't real.
There's no one to pray to--
No one to take the wheel.

So, we'll cry late into the night.
Asking nothing and no one
Why?

Why am I here?
What have I done?
Why can't I just upper cut and run?
What can I do?
Why can't I see
Where do we go when we cease to be?

There's no answers out there, my friend.
Nothing in textbooks or bibles.
There's no solution that's final.
There's always more,
But it's somehow less.
And with it all crashing down, we can only guess...

Why am I here?
What have I done?
Why can't I just fly on through the sun?
What can I do?
Why can't I see
What it is that I truly need?
Why can't I remember any of my dreams?
How can't I feel, if my heart can bleed?
Why do I hate the places I've been
Yet always dream of seeing them again?

Life is just a lie
A linear deception
A splash in time.
In the end, we all will die
We are nothing
Made out of something
Realizing that god's on no one's side.

This is deep and i can relate as im sure allot of other people can to.
Most people do question and quite a few times in there life... what is my purpose? why am i here?
Sometimes life feels worthless, and you want to hit someone when they say life is what you make it. Because thats not really true. I mean life is hard these days, the world is become worse as the years go on, it is not a great world we live in for most people. So much suffering, and struggling.

Also many of us question god, if he is good and here to help us when we prey to him, why does it feel like he is never listening. Like he never actually helps.

all these questions will probably never be answered. That is why we just try to work life out as best as we can, try to do our best, and lean on the ones we love for advice, support and guidance.

Great write really powerful, and packed with great depth and meaning.

I asked theses questions and I held similar thoughts often in my lifetime.
"Life is just a lie

The above lines are logical and with my old age. I found answers to few questions. Thank you Dennis for sharing the excellent poetry.
