Left Unspoken

Questions

Curious and skeptical, with some problems in mind.

What, who, when, where, and how, asking for something blind.

Interrogative words, always trying to find.

The answers unknown to an inquisitive kid.

"What is going on? Who am I? Why am I here?"

From a lost and lifeless cub, quivering in fear.

"How are you? Where are you from?" mumbled with a tear.

Consoling a confused child when no one else did.

"When and where does it start, this pain left unspoken?"

"How and why does it feel like life was forsaken?"

"What are the causes behind this face of ashen?"

In front of the mirror, asking the young speaker.

Drowned in a downhearted daze, questioning oneself.

If the said youth was a book, misplaced on the shelf.

Identities and values to this world of pelf.

Will remain unknown like questions on flamed paper.
