Why can others drop out of your life, but you can't? Why is it okay for others to hurt you, but it's not okay to hurt yourself? Why is it okay for others to stab you, but you can't yourself? Why is it okay for others to hate you, but you can't hate yourself? W H Y ? Y H W Why is it okay for others to make you sick with loss when they know you won't be able to get better?

Why
The world is full of noise. School, Home, Work; we all know that the world is full of noise. but sometimes, the near silent -skitch, scratch- of pencil lead against paper is the sound that you hear, instead of the scream that the poem it's creating represents.

Silence
I'm not allowed to live among people. I guess I don't deserve to be one of them. Or maybe, they're just all the same? To breathe someone else's breath: suffocating. I am not allowed to live by myself. I guess everyone is worried about me. Or maybe, just filthy intolerance of my being? Adhering to everybody's advice: enslaving. I'm not allowed to give an abstract meaning to life. I guess it's sad to not have someone beautiful beside? Or maybe, they don't understand that beauty has no appearance. Being a judge and picking people: inhuman. I'm not allowed to live in the moment. I guess carrying the past on your back is nostalgic? Or maybe, thinking of the future is too fantastic! Being busy, disturbed and in misery: deathly. To not admire what you have and living in an unquenchable thirst to possess, To have money and not knowing it's value. Earn, spend, possess and finally get bored. To repeat this cycle countless times. To meet unusual people and brand them socially awkward. To be selfish but fake the concern for others. To call this life, is mockery of my being. It's blasphemy. I'm not allowed to live among people because that's not my life.
