Why did this happen to me?
Why do I have to do this?
Why am I always the one bearing the brunt?
Why am I feeling so bad about this?
Why now?
Why is there so much suffering?
Why is being a woman so difficult?
Why is the world so heartless?
Why is my promotion delayed?
Why does he not love me?
Why can’t she see what I am going through?
Why can’t things be perfect?
Why can’t we live in peace and harmony?
Why do I have so many questions?
Maybe, because it was meant to.
Maybe, because only I can.
Maybe, because I am keeping scores
Maybe, because I truly loved.
Maybe, because the time is right.
Maybe, because of the choices I made.
Maybe, because it ain’t a man’s job.
Maybe, because I don’t take a moment to make it better.
Maybe, because I still have to find my worth.
Maybe, because he needed to be loved, more.
Maybe, because she is unable to go beyond her limitations.
Maybe, because perfection is a process and not a destination.
Maybe, because we don’t know when to let go.
Maybe, because I don’t know the answers….
When the ‘I’ lets go of the ‘Why’, you realize, Why Not?

Love it. I always say for every ‘why’, you need to ask ‘why not’. Also, how come we never think of saying ‘why’ when the going is good!
Absolutely Corinne. If only we did. We’d be much happier and make this a happy place.
Arthur Ashe: The world over — 50 million children start playing tennis, 5 million learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semi final, 2 to the finals. When I was holding the trophy I never asked GOD: “Why me?”. So today in pain, I should not be asking GOD: “Why me?”
Yes, why not?
Yes, I remember this one. Truly, why not?
I so thought of Arthur Ashe too Janu; good post vinita
Thanks Priya 🙂
Aha! That’s superb! A lot of questions but with answers!
True… when the ‘I’ lets go of the ‘Why’, you realize, why not?
That has been my experience Shilpa. We need to let ‘I’ go.
thought Provoking …Jacinta
Thanks AJ 🙂
I used to do a lot of Why Me a lot of time .. until I substituted it with ok Try me 😛
Must be the time we met 😛
Thought provoking indeed!!It is so convenient to slip into the pitiable ‘why me’instead of the positive ‘why ever not ‘!!
And we are always bordering on the edges of self pity.
Beautiful thoughts! So, why not?
Absolutely.
The reasons and answers we give for such questions in life- some questions are better unanswered
Yup, but when you do, leave them there in that realm. Lest they come back to haunt you.
Wonderful, wonderful! For every why asked, the answer should be why not!
Atta girl. That truly is the spirit.
Wonderful thought. Need to start asking more why nots 🙂
That, I truly believe is the answer 🙂
Lovely poem…. making me think why not!!
Glad it is working. 🙂
