Words

Answers,

To all the questions but my own.

What seek you,

I can lead anyone,

Anyone but myself.

Answer any questions but my own.

Words that lift up so many,

Only ring hollow upon my ears.

They don’t care for the words,

Empty promises,

It’s the feeling behind them they grasp.

I can’t do the same for myself,

The words are not enough.

Search as I may.

Never were,

Never will be,

Never enough words to save myself.
