Why Me?

By Lindsey

"Why me?" I ask the darkest night,

"Why me?" I ask the brightest day.

When the weight of the world sits on your shoulders,

Your sense of safety's gone astray.

"Why me?" I ask the coldest breeze,

"Why me?" I ask the hottest sun.

When you're a child grown too fast,

There is no time for fun.

"Why me?" I ask my enemy,

"Why me?" I ask my closest friend.

When you're losing your own planet,

To friends your life you'll have to lend.

"Why me?" I ask the fate I have,

"Why me?" I ask the life I lead.

When you kill an innocent creature,

It makes the soul bleed.

"Why me?" I ask myself,

Out of all the people near.

It doesn't matter who, though,

I got a planet to save here.
