Question

QUESTION?

I HEAR THE QUESTION BUT I AM ALONE IN THE ROOM,
I ASK THE QUESTION BUT MY MOUTH DOES NOT MOVE,
WHO DO YOU TALK TO WHEN ALONE SURROUNDED BY GLOOM,
THE WALLS ENGULF YOU, THERE IS A DOOR YOU CAN ESCAPE,
IF I ESCAPE WILL I FIND THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION.

CAN I FIND THE ONE PERSON TO OPEN THE QUESTION FOR DEBATE,
I LOOK TO THE HEAVENS TO ASK IF HE IS THERE,
SO MANY TIMES I HAVE LOOKED WITH A TEARFUL STARE,
HOW MANY SOULS ARE ASKING THE SAME QUESTION,
WILL HE BE TO BUSY? WILL HE HAVE THE TIME TO SPARE?

I HAVE TRIED AND TRIED TO GO FORWARD IN MY DIRECTION,
THE TEST THAT HE HAS SET ME HAS DIVIDED MY LIFE INTO SECTIONS
CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE, I AM GUIDED BY THE PLIGHT OF OTHERS,
BE IT BY LOVE HATE COMPASSION OR AFFECTION,
UNSTEADY, TO THE RIGHT, TO THE LEFT, WHAT DIRECTION?

THE VOICE IN MY HEAD IS MINE AND IS FROM THE PAST,
TO OVERCOME THE PAST HAS MEANT DRAWBACKS AND GAINS,
BUT THIS VOICE IN MY HEAD STILL LINGERS AND REMAINS,
I AM NO STRANGER TO ASK FOR HELP FROM OUT OF THE SKY,
THE QUESTION STILL REMAINS GOING AROUND AND AROUND.
THE QUESTION IS “WHY”.
IS THERE AN ANSWER TO MY QUESTION????
