Questioning Brightest Visions, Purpose, and the Darkest of Dreams

All I want is the answer 
to what my life is about.

A soliloquy? To be or not to be?
Is that how I shall exist?

Questioning and questioning
	brightest visions and 
darkest dreams.

Pondering purpose,
	elegant or plain

Whatever serves the 
        destiny and its design.

Compelling a question; yes, questioning
        What is the answer 
		to my existence,
                       my pitiful pleas, the painful, the plies?
                
Where is the answer? 
                What, may I ask, and why, please, 
                                                     just tell me why?
