W is for Why?

This is another poem that I wrote when I was in high school. 

Why were we created?
Why are we born?
Why do we have to die?
Why does that make me cry?
Why do people get murdered?
Why do people kill?
Why does God let it happen?
Why? Why? Why?
Why is the grass green?
Why is the sky blue?
Why do birds fly?
Why do dogs hate cats?
Why does God allow war?
Why are children starving?
Why let the children die?
Why? Why? Why?
Why let the children die?
Why let them cry?
Why does one have so much,
And the other so little?
Why mommy, why?
Why daddy, why?
Why do the children die?
Why does God let it happen?
Why?
Some tell me why?
Why?
          Why not?

January 1, 2019 Q and A

So I got myself a bunch of fancy journals once and they have been collecting dust on my bookshelf.  Cleaning my bookshelves is another one of my big goals this year.  I have decided to use my fancy prompt journals for blogging.  This one is my favourite, it is one of those ones where you have a question a day and you ask yourself the same one every year and see how the answers have changed.

1) What is your mission?

My mission for this coming year is to be true to myself and do what more of what make me happy and less of what I feel I have to (in my own head, due to imaginary social pressure not real things).

I rather like the things I like and want to just go with that flow.
