I Look For Answers… Poem by Jak Hard

I Look for Answers…

Tears of sadness prick my eyes as
The rays of hope and joy do die.

I cry for more in a desperate need of
Food and water and a family.

I yearn to know what my purpose may be,
A scab? A joke? A nobody?

I surrender my tears to the cold, hard ground,
Letting them fall and hearing their sound.

I want a meaning, I want answers,
I knock at the door, I cry out for more.

Grief and heartache hit me unguarded,
I turn around and go back to where it started.

Lonely I feel as I walk along the track.
A broken heart, a lone wolf without a pack.

I yearn to know what my purpose may be,
Is there one, a purpose for me?

I feel the tears stream down my face as
I reach the cliff, the towering place.

As I scan the oceans for a reply,
My hope and joy again pass by.

Maybe walking this earth was a terrible mistake,
An accident, a disruption, was I meant to be awake?

The dark grey waters beckoned me toward them,
Crashing their waves in a tremendous roar,
As I looked into the eyes of the depressing skies,
A dropp of rain came and opened a door.

I grabbed the door’s hands with the both of my arms,
And fell down into the air before being filled with balm.

Was that my destiny, to be thrown off a cliff?
By the Earth itself, in a glass-shattering rip?

I had looked for answers and had become more lost but
Then death found me and off the cliff I was tossed.
