Why

Why

Why do I search for validation?

A mere admiration from an unknown soul.

My heart yearns for a touchless beat.

Why does the doubt consume my thoughts?

Filling voids with unnecessary fear.

My mind lacks the capacity to override.

Why do I chase shadows for comfort?

The light too blinding, the dark too familiar.

I walk barefoot on questions, bleeding truths.

Why does silence echo louder than words?

Every unspoken ache stitched to my ribs.

My soul whispers answers I refuse to hear.

Why do I question my worth?

Though through trenches I have pulled myself out of, knowing exactly what I am capable of.
