Why? Why do you all treat me so,
Why do you look oddly at me,
And think I’m your foe?
Why can’t I your friend be???

Why do you not talk to me properly,
Whenever I try to converse,
Why do you think I’m false and silly,
Do I have upon me a curse???

Why do you get irritated and annoyed,
Whenever I try to socialize,
Why don’t you bridge the gap, fill the empty void,
What is it in me you despise???

When have I done anything wrong to you,
That you all shun my company,
Why don’t you accept me as something new,
And let me live with you all in Harmony???

Why do you treat me like a social outcast,
And try to not feel my presence?
Why do you leave me like a ship without a mast,
In a storm dark, heavy and dense???

Why do you not laugh with me,
For all the jokes that I crack,
Why instead, do you laugh behind me,
Why do you have fun at my expense, behind my back???

Why do you like him, why do you like her,
And why don’t you like me,
Why do you treat me like a rabid cur,
Why not just throw me in the sea???

Why do you go behind people who don’t care,
When you can plainly see that I do,
Why do you leave my soul empty and bare,
Am I not like a friend to you???

Why is it that you do not want my friendship,
Without friends, my ship will sink,
Why do you all my heart to pieces rip,
And not catch the tears coming out of my eyes at every blink???

It really wouldn’t hurt you one bit, you know,
If to me a little friendliness you did show…
