Questions

What is real?
Why must I ask?
Who am I really?
I just see a mask

I define my reasons
I search through my past
I see why I’m here
But will this truth last?

No more being used
No more denial
No more self-abuse
Will this just last a while?

Questioning something
Questioning me
Questioning nothing
Now I see

Nothing is real
I’ve nothing to ask
I’m only here
I make my own mask
