The Interrogation

I'm only still when I'm thinking, but sometimes I think while I move.

What happens when we are born into circumstances that try to pin us in a box, pin us down?
When parents and friends tell us who they think we should be, mirrors of their broken selves?
What happened to men who knew their own hearts?
How I long to know mine own, to teach and inspire my future, younger kin.

Why don't I chase after those who make me come alive?
Why do I sit?
Why do they leave?
What have I done?

Why don't people ask the hard questions?

Why do I feel desensitized?

Why can no one relate?

How do I know thousands of people, yet few know me?

How do I discern who is trustworthy?

How do I trust without certainty?

Why won't I post this where on Facebook where everyone will read it?

Who invented the question mark?

That bastard.
