Why on this earth?

I couldn't tell you why on this earth all this drama happens.

Why on this earth would you even ask?

I can't even keep myself happy.

Why on this earth would someone else want to come along?

I have many problems I try to ignore sooner or later I'll have to explore.

I had many problems startig at birth.

Mom let me know why you kept me in hell or what you call Earth!

Everytime I trust someome I am let down.

Everytime I say something it always gets turned around.

Lord you knew me at birth.

So please can you tell me "Why on this Earth?"

this is really well put together, its seems to express that feeling everyone has, that there is no purpose for ourself to be here, it only causes ourselves pain and noone ever truly helps, they only fool us and we fall farther everytime, its easy to feel that way, an most everyone wll probably never escape it, but through God we can see that it is worth living through to be with Him, good poem, an you told me to let you know if i post new ones so check out "Lie Red" if you want to, i just wrote it on impulse, so anyway youre a great poet. He is the air around you, Breathe deeply and never grow weary.
