Closer To Fine

Whether strong or weak
I still search and seek -
Asking questions,
Questioning answers -
For insights I pine,
So long to be fine.

In darkness I'm lost 
Trying at all cost -
Asking questions,
Questioning answers -
Climb toward sunshine,
So long to be fine.

Once I tame my fear,
See finally clear -
Asking questions,
Questioning answers -
I dare to define, 
I'm closer to fine.

Totally relatable. Totally genuine thoughts put to paper in this way work to good effect. Altering words or rephrasing for this type of poem negates its purpose, so well done for letting the words tumble out and fall where they might. Best regards David in NZ
