Wisdom of Why

Confusions or wonders, cramming congestion,
Acknowledgement, that true trust dies.
Curiousity, begging the first question,
Beginning of where, wisdom lies.

Triggered, when encountering the uncertain,
Questioning, one's perceived self worth.
Innocently peering, behind the curtain,
Finding one's purpose, upon Earth.

"Why?" concludes, where questioning starts, 
 Predertimined, by our own hearts.

Thanks for the contest...I enjoyed writing the poem. It is amazing how when we contemplate "Why?" so much of the answer lies within rather than without.
