Why

why
what a simple word,
only three letters.
the answers though,
can be not so simple.
even impossible.

why did you do this?
why did you do that?
why didn't you tell me?
why didn't you let me help you?
why am I not enough?

so many questions,
all beginning in why.
why can't people answer them,
as easily as they can ask them?

why?
such a simple phrase
it can be heard by the young
and by the old and everyone in between.
no one knows quite how to answer it,
it seems anyway.
But really,
aren't people just scared?
scared for people to know their true motive?
their true thoughts and feelings?
the REAL reason?

why,
a simple word which will be asked,
until the end of time.
for people always want to know more.
maybe more than they really need to know.
but still;
more.

Why?
