I wanted to be happy, but I couldn't be!
And the way I walked, it's not over yet,
The song I sang woke no one up
Even I couldn't win yet anyone's heart!

In this world, happy times are like a flash
And the sadness will continue forever,
Even then hopes race to the happiness
No, I've never had a happy life here!

I felt happiness is like a light breeze
But the pain is as big as the mountains,
My life doesn't follow me anymore
But the dreams light me up always!

There is a place
Where insecurities rule
No one is safe
From the voices that live in the dark recesses
The Kingdom of Insecurities

Walls of confidence crumble
Seedlings of doubt are planted in the gardens of love
Hate lives among love
Flowers of fear grow tall
The fruit of all relationships is rotten

The Kingdom of Insecurities is dark
The lack of light does little to hide
The terror that lurks behind our own eyes

There is no King or Queen of Insecurities
We have no master but our own internal fears

Someone
Anyone
Please help me escape this yolk
Get me out of
The Kingdom of Insecurities

things she doesn’t ask...

are they things,
she doesn’t know to ask,
or
are they things
to which,
she does not want to know
the answers.

my not knowing the answer to this puzzle,
drives me to distraction, her Mona Lisa smile,
accompanied by her noncommittal “whatever,”
hiding the answer, nearly leads me over a blurting edge,
but for my inevitable retreat, for the true question,
has a  truer answer, that comes as well, 
in question form.  

Why do I,


or do I,

want to know?

you don’t know how much you need to
until
you
can’t.
