i don't know

Family she asks, where can I find one?

You have one they say. Your home.

They’re fake she says, I’m lost and alone

Lend me some. An unbroken dad and a mum

Honesty she asks, where can I find truth?

What is honesty they say. I don’t know the word truth

I think you can find it if you look hard enough she says

Within the sun and the moon

 

Love she asks, where can I find compassion?

Love they say, its hatred with another name

I keep searching for it she says, within your sons

But I’ve either lost or failed at that game.

Happiness she asks, what is joy?

Its when you don’t feel sad they said

But what is sadness she asks, is that a feeling too?

Its when you can’t get out of bed, when there’s a darkness in your head.

What is religion she asks, who do I trust?

Religion is something that gives us hope, its all the same.

They say choose a religion I must

But aren’t I just choosing something to blame

The world, what is this universe?

That question cannot be answered they say

Is it hell, heaven, a dream or just another verse?

Life’s poem is confusing they told me, ‘but you’ll get to the end one day.’
