Reasons Why

Poem about life, death, and a little bit of hope

he shields his eyes, they are his disguise. Horrors from his past, the shadows they cast. Innocence taken so young, now look at what he's become. Everything happens for a reason, payback for all the heathens. Wish just once he could see, just what this world wanted him to be. People come an go, their true colors often show. Its hard to find a place that fits, when your whole heart is screaming its quits. All he wanted was one shot, in this life that's all you really got. Life is far from fair, so you better prepare. Never give up an never back down, not until the day I'm placed into the ground. This is no suicide, just along for the ride. Life's gone in a blink of the eye, hold those tears don't you cry..this is no lullaby. These are my words my voice, listen or not that's your choice. I'm here to stay, come at me or go the f**k away. Imma live until I die, these are my own reasons why.

This piece has a rhythm that draws me in. My favorite line and the one which I think encapsulates the feeling overall is "It's hard to find a place that fits, when your whole heart is screaming it's quits." The change from third person to first is a little confusing but I like the kick in the words of this narration. I was very drawn by the title, but at the end I didn't feel like I had a handle on what those reasons are. Nevertheless, a great piece with force and character.

Thank you for your input and glad to see that you liked it. It was actually made and put into one of my stories which is why it goes from third to first person.
