Why Me?
Title - Why Me?
By @AshokSawhnySahil.
#ashoksawhnysahil #englishpoetry #poetry
Why Me?
When fortune does not smile upon us
We’re prone to ask the simple question
‘Why me?’
I’ve done nothing, greatly, wrong
A little waywardness, perhaps
A minor transgression
Why, then, have I been so chosen
To be deprived of my share of happiness
When, others I see absolved of greater sins,
(which I seem to know all about)? Why me?
I forget that life never offered me any guarantees
Nor did the Good Lord above,
Whose mercies, over time
I care not to remember
And so, curse my destiny, willy-nilly,
Blaming the present lot on things extraneous to me and my
living
Or rationalize, since I have no other explanation
That I am paying for some long-gone past, misdeeds
Even in an earlier life that I know nothing about
The oft-believed, transmigration of the soul.
I tend to look around and compare
Myself with others
Although, I well know that
Comparisons are dreadfully odious.
