Who? … How? … Poem by chris north

What is the truth? …
How do you know what the truth is?
Who do you ask whenever you have a question?
How do you know if they will give an answer?

Who will be there in your time of need?
How do you know when you need helping?
Who will be there when you get hurt?
How do you know if you’re hurt?

Who can you talk to about your problems?
How do you know when you have a problem?
Who can you share your darkest secrets with?
How do you know when it’s your darkest secret?

Who do you like?
How do you know if you like them?
Who do you love?
How do you know if you love someone/anyone?

Can anyone give you these answers
or must you figure them out on your own?
