Why not?

By Riceman

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I jump around, you say no. I talk loud, you say don't. I say no, you say yes. Why not? I can do whatever I want, who are you to tell me no? And all I can think of is, Why not? You want and want and want, then if I ask you for something you say no. One question pops into my head, Why not? Some of my requests are a little too much, but you still don't do anything for me. When I ask for peace and you say no, I ask, Why not? Written March 16th, 2002 © on Mar 15 2002 04:29 PM PST   10 • 0 • 9
