Why are we born?
Why do we die?
Why do we smile?
Why do we cry?

Why is there love?
Why is there pain?
Why is there sunshine?
Why is there rain?

Why do we hate?
Why do we forgive?
Why Do we die
Why do we live

Death is but an escape from loneliness

oh, the questions of life
things happen for a reason
look at it this way, without the bad, how can we truly appreciate the good
thanks for sharing

You should have stuck with one-syllable words to end each line. It would have a better flow.

This isn't a bad post.. not the best I've seen from you, but it was still a good read.
These are many questions that everyone encounters sometime throughout life. You're not the only one wondering those same thoughts.
Nice job.

When I asked the world, they told me "because." So when I find the answers, I'll letcha know. Good poem.

Good poem. Too bad I don't have the answers you seek.

First let me say sweet poem, it rhymes well and everything! *sniffles* I'm so proud. One thing though, a lot of the.... I dunno... the word over-used comes to mind. Something is overused. Though I don't know how to phrase what I'm thinking. This is beautifully composed despite.

I took a philosophy course last year and the professor was really tough, but for his final he gave us 1 question, and he wrote it on the board:
"WHY?"

Every body wrote for hours and hours(including my self) incorporating all these theories and ideas we had talked about but the only person to get an A wrote one simple word, and Carly already mentioned it:
"Because"

So there ya go. Sometimes the answer is just "because." The hard part is excepting that answer. And I don't know if we should or not.

Anyhow I'm way off track here
nice poem, I enjoyed it.
