A question I hear more and more
Is simple to say and even hear
But if you sit back and look to its core
The question is easy “what am I” but it’s the answer you fear.

So I have set myself this task and will try to see it bare
To capture the fundamental nature of the question at hand
Now the answer I fear will unlock anguish and despair
But bringing forward a determination of spirit to stand.

I start by looking at myself and what I have achieved
Seeing highs and lows in a life of boredom
But all I can find is nothing I could have believed
I find I can not answer this problem.

Its not because I don’t want to, or fear what I might find
But more to do with the lines of serenity
You see a wise woman once said I must draw the line
Not waste my life looking to the past, but to be more carefree,

So I must admit that I have failed this quest
But I have no remorse as I look to the night sky from my window
I can no longer write on this subject as I have no more to express
I can see the path I must now follow a new life to live with out sorrow.

I will leave you with this before I lay my pen to rest
Try not to dwell on what was or could have been
Because that could leave a tear in your soul where darkness can manifest
Now I must leave it here, done for the night, so I walk from my desk with
nothing but a grin…
