Why?

To be honest, I just wrote this to pour some feelings out...

I only feel sadness

because that's all the world gives me;

reasons to be sad and hopeless 

When something good happens;

it ends as quick as a gunshot

as if it never happened before

Those good things boost me up;

fill my world with rainbows and light

but, why'd they have to end so fast?

Couldn't they have lasted longer

and make me feel like a person anymore?

No though, they just had to leave

Sadly, no feeling of happiness can last too long because the brain can't handle it, just means you have to appreciate the little moments we get.

[Mr.Writer]

I agree with you Wajiha, sadness doesn't last long, but we're always waiting for it to end soon though.
Thank you Wajiha! :)

They do... Fleeting moments of purity are often chased away by fathomless depths of sadness... A beautifully rich poem, friend... Sadly, but very well penned...

[Mr.Writer]

Yep, when good moments come, the sad ones chase them away
Thank you Silente! :)

[Chase Dylan]

Of course...

[Poetic Beauty]

That is the question of all questions...i wish there were more happy times than sad but alas that rarely happens

[Mr.Writer]

I wish that there were more happy moments too
Thank you! :)

Good question... We should all ask that one question of why? Why? There is many types to ask such questions. But somehow this poem reeks of something depressing. I know that we all long for something happy. For a happy time but no matter what we do... those happy times keep fading off... They keep going away and makes us feel that what we want... will never be. This poem is pure... But... Did it have to be that strong?

[Mr.Writer]

I agree, there are questions by questions, which go so far in the world!
Thank you Joanna! :)
