Why

Why

 

Why do we all ask this question?
It is my turn to ask why
Yes, my soul has leaned by the mistakes forever in my mind
I guess equals why love so deep will be so hard for me to find
Are there people that I owe?
Is this why my love cannot grow
However, how can I repay
Or even fix things when they are so far away
Who loves me these words ring out?
Who will this be
When is there simply just a love for me?
In addition, I listen to the end
As the echo, I heard it is your heart that you must mend

still working on this one

I sent a P.M. with my ideas.. but still wanted to

to leave comment.. hopefully others will read and give more input. They can also give some insight if they think some of the changes help or hinder. I changed the 1st line, ‘cause when you just ask ‘why do we all ask this question?’ I am wondering.. okay, what question? But, if you start it off.. ‘why?’ and then skip down, you can immediately see the subject is ‘why?’ *trying to get away from the repetition of repeating why, yet still letting the idea remain. *you can still get the same notion, but omitting some words. Like ‘yes’ in the third line. I hope I got the gist of your 4th line, I felt it was worded a little awkward.. I will let you just read through and see the suggestions. You are getting there! This is another very good subject I feel a lot of people can relate to. It also is giving them a good message. That there is hope to find someone very special. Just for themselves. Regardless of any past transgressions. Doing Good Press!! Always Sincere, Tonya
