Questions

Why do i feel so isolated 
As if I'm not in control?
Why do I see walls around my life
Though there is none that I have built?
Why do i allow fear to affect my judgment?
Ignorance feeds fear, but the knowledge is out of my reach
Why do I hurt
Even though there are no scares?
Why do I constantly feel pain for my coflicting thought
But I never seem beside myself?
Why do I tolerate the anguish
While knowing how to stop it?
Why do I divenigrats my faith and hope
But know that without it, i weill have no chance?
Why do I waste my time looking for a hero
Even though i always knew I was alone?
Why do I allow myself to be different from the inside out
But know how to unify the both?
Why do I not know who I am
Even though i have always been the same?
Why so I limit my dreams 
While knowing I can break my boundries?
Why do I contiue to walk in circles
When I know a strait path?
Why do I hide
Even though there id noone around to see me?
Why do I fight and yell
But there is noone to listen or disagree?
Why do I try to explain myself
When I don't really know who i am?
Why do Ilook for the easy way out
Even though Iknow that none exists?
Why...
Why do I look for the end of the tunnel
Even though Iknow I will never see the light?
Why...
Why don't I look for answers?
Because liveing with only questions allows you to extract nothing from life...
Answers create puzzle pieces to establish a final picture. 
And the questions only show what the picture may become
Why continue?
God please let me know "why'?
