Questions. Poem by D.A. Woods

How can I look to the future when I don't know which way to face?
How can I run when I don't know where to race?
How can I go forward when I'm always held back?
How can I stay focused when I'm always off track?
How can I look when the sun has burnt out my eyes?
How can I believe when I'm surrounded by lies?
How can I swim in this infested ocean of deceit?
How can I walk this land with chains around my feet?
How can I stand tall with the world on my shoulders?
How can I meet my maker before I get older?
How can I rid myself of this bitterness before I get colder?
How can I lock my desires when it begins with a kiss?
How can I love, when I don't know what love is.
