Unanswered Question
Where did I come from?
Where have I been?
What have I become?
Did I lose, did I win?
I ask myself these questions.
But, no answers come to me.
I look in all directions,
but there is nothing to see.
Life can be a hard game to play,
with no guidelines or rules.
We have to search along the way,
to find just the right tools.
I have taken what was offered,
but perhaps it was too much.
Giving back, I discovered,
was never with the right touch.
The one question I'm afraid to ask,
because the answer is one that I fear.
For I will have to finally unmask,
so the reality of it is clear.
Have I failed at living a life,
one that I can be proud?
Or has living with so much strife,
caused me to live my too loud?
A general question, "did I fail",
the course, Life 101?
Caught in the tumultuous wind of a gale,
did I become completely undone?
I am not sure how to find the answer,
Is it mine alone to decide?
Or will it be answered in a manner,
that a higher power will provide?
