Poetry on Odyssey: Why Me?

Why did you pick me to lie to?

Poetry on Odyssey: Why Me?
William Hancock

Why me? Must it be?
Why am I the one you choose?
Why am I the one that gets used?
The one that gets abused?

You play your games like a child,
But you force yourself into a lie.
You make me feel like I'm a child
Or even an annoying fly.

I find your flags of red
And when I ask you, you run.
Because now you've made your bed.
Your lies were bullets and your mouth was the gun.

Why me? Was it because I'm nice?
Or was it because you thought I was naive?
I hate to tell you that you lost the roll of the dice.
Now you know I wont hesitate to leave.

But, why you? Why do you act this way?
Harming others on the inside.
Doesn't the guilt eat you up inside or choke you like a twist-tie?

Your lies create a web that only ensnares yourself because you secretly care about nobody else.
Why me? Because I'm me.
Why you? You tell me...

The memory of you is only a shadow of what it used to be.
I couldn't be happier to forget something,
And finally be free and be me.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
