Why

Why have I to be alone
Why can't they understand
Why should I listen to them

I'm standing on my own
but I have to subscribe
I don't want to, but they say I have to

Why should I listen to them
Why should I do what they do
Why can't I live like I want

I'm always on my own
and music is loud
but they don't like it

Why do you want to hurt me
Why life is a nightmare
Why are you so cruel

Everyone stands on his own
Few can be friends
Few want to help

The above poem was written a very long time ago, around the end of the 80s. It was a very bad time for me personally, so the poem reflects my depressive mood of the time.
