Why?

Why do I hurt the ones I love
And waste my time with those I don't?
Why do I search for what is there
And spend time with those that don't care?
Why do I fade the real things out
And waste my time mucking about?
Why do I care about their thoughts
Yet care for my thoughts, they do not?
Why do I feel like I'm alone
When loved ones offer me a home?
Why push away the ones I need
And become self-centred on greed?
How do I expect to survive
When I do not care for my life?
Why do I dodge my Lord above
When all He's done is show me love?
When will I stop living a lie
Face the truth, and open my eyes?
