Why



I'm tired of going to school, girls are the only ones dresscoded and what for?
Because we are girls and we want to wear these short of shorts when it's hot or we want to just wear a bra because we will get superswetty, why are we the bad ones and told by doing so we deserve what the boys will do to us?
We don't but for some reason the boys get it better?
And us girls are left to cry alone, starve ourselves, and fit into too tight shoes and clothing for other's to look at us?

Why can't I love myself but i can freely give out the nothingness to other's and feel like dying if they leave?
Am I broken?
Why can't i see what other's see when they try to put me in a good mood?
Why do I hate myself but love other people?

Why do i stare at a mirror when i eat, when i can't resist the food, just to be able to show myself what the food does to me?
Why do they stare and show me pity and tell me i'm sick when i know, like the back of my hand, the amount of calories and fat in each food item and drink?
Why do they say i'm sick when i see a few more pounds that need to dissappear?
Why am i so fat but others see bones?

Why is it so hard to talk to somebody?
Why do I feel like I'm in a cage even when im able to walk freely and talk proudly?

Why do i feel so saddened when i hear the gunshots but i'm powerless to stop them?                                                             As a teenager i have no voice, i can only have the voices in my head, but i have to lock them up or be locked up?

Why do we say this is the land of the free, when we give injustic still to the African-Americans, the LGBTQ+ community, the women, the kids, the men and we give more freedom to drugs and death and suicide?

Why is it, when a child is feeling so depressed and down and trying to show some signs to their parent's that they are hurting, they are ignored and only when they die and commit suicide is it the parent's say they showed no signs when they showed so many?

Why are women denied rights to freedom of clothing because of the men, why can't we be free from their lustful eyes and wandering hands, instead we are called begging for it when how do we know every man is the same?

Why have we been so rude to those part of the LGBTQ+ comunity when they are the same of us?

They are the same people because they have a heart like you, beg for love like you sarch for, breath the same air you do, go to work, go to school, get married and even die as you do.

Why is the world so unjustly rude and decietful the humans that live in that wakes us up and creates more lies?

Why? Why?Why?
