Njeri Hunjeri Poet Free verse

I Ask

I ask you
     What do I do
     When all I want to do is hide
I want to hide further than my own words
I want to disappear 
     Forgotten 
     Heartbroken 
     Broken
     Forsaken 
     Mistaken

I ask me
     Should I continue rhyming 
     When there is no timing 
Am shadowed by my own thinking 
Am so tempted to risking
But I lose with each attempt  -ing 
All I want to do is freeze every dream, no more dreaming

I ask him
     What do you want from me
Am already so confused
Seems like life gets harder, the older I get
Everything is complicated, way out of proportion 
I have no balance anymore 
I just want to close my eyes
     Not see
     Not think

I ask me again
     Do I have a way out
     Why do I live in a prison of my own fears
     Why do I judge me so harshly 
What do I want?
