I Don’t Know The Answer

I don’t know the answer 
nor the question 
I was asked 

I’m living with 
what has happened 
what has come to pass 

Will it still be here tomorrow 
will it be all I need
I need to ask 

No answers come forth 
because the answers 
are hidden 

Hidden deep 
deep within
the questions asked.

I Don’t know The Answer

 

 

 

I don’t know the answer
Even as the question
Isn’t asked.

The flow knows the answer
It leaves it on a bed
Of relevance
Fearing nothing
Only feeling dread.

I don’t know the answer
But not to say the answer
Isn’t in my head.

Will I Show You Who I Am

Will I show you who I am
Will I reveal the face
I know I’ve been?

Will the lines of tomorrow
Be etched
Across my taunt skin?

Will the ones
That happened yesterday
Be still there
In a full or forced grin?

I don’t know the answer
Cause you see
I don’t know who I’ve been.
