Thoughts of a Quiet Girl

|70|

The greatest question

anyone can ever ask

is 'why'.

It's so simple, yet so complex.

Sometimes,

it doesn't even need the help of other words.

It, on it's own, is something.

With each new 'why'

arises something entirely different than the last.

'Why' can create and destroy

what no other word or question can.

Asking why can solve

all the problems,

you didn't know had answers.

Or help all the problems,

you didn't know were there

rise to the surface.

'Why' is something everyone needs,

but everyone dreads.

Without it the world would go no where,

but with it the world constantly changes.

No one wants the present situation,

but they don't want change either.

But as long as we have 'why'

nothing stays the same.

'Why' can help to create the deepest of love

simply by making you question,

why you haven't fought for it yet.

But, 'why', can also destroy it,

when you start to wonder

if it's real.

Funny, how one word

can do that...
