Why

Do you ever have those questions?
The ones buried deep in your mind,
The ones that make your soul scream,
Where your heart always wants answers,
Do you ever have those deep thoughts?
The ones that make you question life,
The ones that make you wonder,
Where your place is in the world?
Do you ever have the realizations?
The ones where you know the truth,
The one where you refuse to believe it,
Where your mind disguises it in a field of denial?
Do you ever have those dreams?
The ones where you see happiness,
The ones where you could be free,
Where your mind gives you a break?
I get all of these,
As they make me wonder,
God, why is the world so cruel?
Please can you tell me?
I was always raised not to ask why,
But I have questions, so Lord,
Why is the only thing promised death?
Why must we all hurt?
Why must you show us love,
Only to take those we love away?
Why is the devil so tempting,
If he's so bad and we need to stay loyal?
Dear God, please can you tell me,
Why all the good people die young,
Why all our companions die too early,
And why were never ready to say goodbye?
God when we're screaming and crying "why?",
Why don't you ever reply?
When we beg you for more time,
Why must we be left behind?
Why do you give your strongest warriors,
The hardest battles to bear?
Why do the people with the biggest smiles,
Always have the biggest tears?
Please be honest when I ask,
God why am I still here,
What's my purpose on the earth that you created?
Mainly God I ask you, do you still love me?
