Question Mark

I think I am like this question mark
not knowing which way to go;
what is my spark?
Life can be confusing, tumbling, 
and circling in my mind
never knowing what to find.
So when I see this question mark,
I see me.

This is quite insightful. Forgive me if this sounds nitpicky but I would love it if the title was the actual ? symbol, the literal mark of the questioner. Granted that may turn people off who are more used to seeing actual letters. you could always flip the mark upside down to gain a different perspective, see if your questions look any different in a new light.

So much depth and insight in this poem. I think that most can relate to times like this. Gives the reader something to ponder. Keep up the good writing. Mom

Personally I think the question mark adds some flavor to poetry... People use to make fun of me for doing so but I see its becoming a trend. Enjoyed this poetry and have a great day.
