wondering

why
can't you find your strength?

why
won't you think for yourself?

why
do they refuse to let you go?

why
is it impossible for you to leave?

why
can only the youngest ones see
are they the only ones with eyes
where did they learn acceptance?

why
is everyone so close minded?

why
are you scared?

why
are you so scared?

why
are you so scared?

what do you think will happen?

  1. Repeating "why" makes this so much more powerful...shows so much emotion...makes me think.

  2. I agree. The change in structure after the repeated word keeps the tone more tense as well.
