Welcome back to Verbatim, our stage for amateur and professional writers. This week we hear from Miami Carol City high schooler Laquissa White.
Why?
Why do we smile,
And yet we cry?
Could be the Grinch of Christmas one day,
But the next day pie.
Why do we live,
And yet we die?
Could be down one day,
But the next day sitting in the sky.
Why do we demand the truth,
And yet still lie?
Say what you feel,
But see the guilt through your eyes.
How do we hate a person,
And yet say hi?
Why do we love,
And yet we say goodbye?
Why do we answer,
And yet ask why?
