"Why Me?"

'Why Me?'

I stand here
In the pouring rain.
Wondering why You
Enflict all this pain.
I always ask,
Why me?
Will there ever be
And end to this misery.
It is said that everything
Happens for a reason.
I shall never last
Threw another season.
So I look up at you
And ponder endlessly
Why do this, to me?

Ahh, angst. A familiar topic to many and this is a poem I'm sure a lot of people can relate to.

A few typos:

"Enflict" = Inflict

"And end to this misery" = An end to this misery

"Threw another season" = Through another season

I also don't think you need that comma in the last line.

So powerful - sometimes the world feels like its against us, but why must we feel sorry for ourselves? Great poem for reflection!

"why me"? I think we sometimes put ourself in a situation where in the end we know we will be asking ourself that question. I am guilty of it too. I do not know why good things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people.

very good. this is a nearly impossible question answer, but the preponderence of it is what truly matters. if one does not ask, one will never know.

I think we all can relate to this, wondering once or twice or in our entire life why is this happening to us and not to someone else, and will we make it through?
Great poem. Loved it!

"The Ashanti Raider"

by Nicholas Jakari



The Raider is a valuable mask from the Great Lakes region of Central Africa made available to trade for guns. Then it's stolen. Its owner enlists a random collection of movie extras to get it back. Action is graphic. Imagery lurid. Not recommended for gentle readers.
