Learning Things Unknown

Looking back at my life I thought I was happy,

I thought I had everything I needed,

It was all there right in front of me,

I just had to reach out for it,

So why didn’t I?

Thinking back, I thought I had found love,

I thought love was doing as I was told,

It was the only kind of love I had seen,

I should have walked away,

What kept me there?

These questions haunted me,

I thought and thought for days,

A head full of blank thoughts but no answers,

Why couldn’t I answer things about myself?

I need time to seek out answers,

A chance to have love and happiness,

I deserve these parts of life,

My brain is no longer in charge,

Soul searching is best left to souls
