Someone, somewhere knows why
a teddy bear with a green sweater is under my old bed
full of memories and soaked with tears
a million sobs within two years...
Someone, somewhere knows why
I watched my parents getting high
and for some reason this never seemed
a completely irrational thing to me...
Someone, somewhere knows why
a hundred years seems to fly by
a hint of lavender,a glimpse of leg
used to make a poor man beg...
Someone, Somewhere knows why
the stars look down from the night sky
at the world so far beneath
at bleeding girls and boys that seethe
Someone, Somewhere knows why......
Author notes
Inspired by a poem that i read a while ago...I cant remeber the author but the poem had an immediate effect on me...because in truth,Someone, Somewhere always knows why.

This is really well written, and captures the emotions you wished to portray really well. I love the first stanza, about the bear under your bed. The feelings it conveyed were powerful. Nice write!!

the 'where' from which the stars look down is for all to see. The 'someone' looking down lives only in the heart and in the heart is the answer to the 'why'

this is a splendid poem, it smiles and dances poetry with subtle grace and easy swerves of beauty.

If someone somewhere understands all these things they are a better person with mysteries than I am. Very good write .

Makes much sense that someone somewhere knows why.

A beautiful write and you're right, someone somewhere does know why.
Oh and thank you for the comment on my poem 'Ruby Delcacy', I'd have replied through commenting there but this is much better

I wonder why, too...
that someone, somewhere knows why...
Maybe because WHY always needs an ANSWER.
Straight from the heart, this one. Keep on penning.

BEAUTIFULLY sad and so touching to my soul! I was blessed to read a poem with real feelings and spirit...I will be back!

This is such a good write, I like the repeated refrain in this poem, it helps to emphasise the isolation and the searching of the narrator. There's some great images in there.
Also, it probably isn't what inspired you, but it reminds me of the line: "Someone, somewhere, soon will take care of you"
