I don’t understand
Why we hurt the ones we love the most
Why we push away help when it’s in our reach
Why we don’t stop the bully and save the victims from getting beat

But most of all
Why people hate when we’re all just humans
Why we mock and tease the disabled who are defenseless
Why we underestimate the power of words

What I understand most is
Why we all are made in the creators image
Why the sun sets and rises
Why god made you and I
