Sometimes I sit and wonder, why always me?
I dream of a nice life, why can't that be?
Have I been singled out by a cruel, omnipotent being?
Does he find pleasure in my pain, rejoice when I am grieving?
Out of 7 billion people, am I the one he watches?
Does he get a thrill knowing, he has the power to stop this?
Why am I the one, to bear the brunt of his wrath?
Is it punishment for a life, that I have lived in the past?
Or is it really me, who causes my own pain?
Is blaming higher beings, self-centred and vain?
What makes me so special, in a world full of war?
Am I being watched, while starving children get ignored?

Some profound thinking here, Danny! A well presented, wise poem of self-exploration. Kudos!
Why me? Everyone ask the same question from time to time. Things just happened, like it or not, here it comes. Nice piece.
So many questions. And each one possibly multiple answers. Many people ask this same question of Why Me? A very fine write.
