Reason
Love is never without pain
 And pain is never without reason
 Sadly not every reason is a good one
 Why people feel the need to destroy
 Is there a good reason for that?
 I don’t know 
 Maybe its because its natural for things to die 
 So others can live
 Or is it simply deep down inside
 We’re monsters who feed off destruction
 Why is it with the increase of the human population?
 There is the decrease of animal habitation?
 Is it because people need the land to live
 Or because people are ignorant
 And inconsiderate 
 Of the natural life around them
 Why is it that I hate to see others in pain
 Is it because I am just kind
 Or is it because it reminds me of my own pain inside
 And the pain I know others experience
 But I just like to ignore others hurt and be ignorant
 Why are people so ignorant
 Is it because we’re made that way
 Or is it because that’s the way we choose to stay
 We choose ignorance, because its easier to ignore
 To not have to deal with pain…
 And that thing called love that us humans adore
 We overlook, ignore, and diregard
 Because after all, facing the truth is hard
 Why is it that the truth has to hurt?
 Is it because maybe the truth doesn’t have to hurt
 It doesn’t hurt if you already know how to face it
 If you chose knowledge over ignorance
 If you chose love over hate
 Maybe that’s why the truth is that way
 After all love is never without pain
 And pain is never without reason
 But sadly not all reasons are good ones
 So why do I have to have so many whys, and questions
 And why do I have to think of reasons 
 When none of them answer my questions
 Why do I try to fit in, when we’re all different
 I have no idea, I have no idea whatsoever 
 I think I’d just rather prefer to be ignorant
 Maybe that’s the answer?
