Why is it,
That when a heart breaks;
It makes no sound?
Why is it,
That when one needs a shoulder to cry on;
They feel no one is around?

Why is it,
That one needs wings to fly?
Or needs to be popular;
To like a guy?

Why is it,
People judge what's on the outside?

why is it,
These are the questions people hide?

I wrote a poem kind of like this called "The Teenage Truth" but it didn't seem to get what I wanted it to. i think this one does. I really want to hear from you!
