Why not 23?
So many people succeed.
Why not me?
Why doesn't the apple,
fall far from the tree?
Why does fate choose,
to play tricks on me?
What happens to smoke,
when it disappears in the wind?
Why do we all make a mistake,
and the same thing again?
Are people in general,
destined to fail?
Is life really nothing but,
a game of heads or tails?
Is it right to stare at each other,
with a look of disdain?
Should we all get pleasure,
from someone else's pain?
If I said I'm a changed man,
would you believe it's true?
While I am being judged,
is someone judging you?
Should we mourn a stranger,
who lies in bed with cancer?
So many questions.
Do we really want answers?
