Questioning

Questioning
  why
I refuse
 to erase
 a history
   lived
passionately
  why
Questioning
   myself
left alone
  allow
a river carry
  away my
sinking feelings
  rush them
  get lost
 towards
the stream 
a point of
drowning
  due to
exhaustion.

Questioning
my confusion
  why not
 absorb
 my anger
 visualize
with glazing eyes
a destination
 to land
my soundless
    voice
 towards
  reality
our closeness
      is
 doomed.

Questioning
 my sobriety
     never
   impose 
     when
hope to cope
  dissolves
  Oh! twister
    whirl me
   strongly
    towards
spring showers
  wet my
   brain
  a drop
of water
to surface
  intact.

 Answering?
my confidence
 whispered
    be
determined
  to feel
when words
   decides
    choose
   Freedom.
