Questions Questions Poem by Chris Boyles

Can you turn emotions off like a switch
can all you're feelings just easily ditch.
Can a rose be turned into ice cold stone
can inner beauty be ignored left alone.

Will a feeling heart weep forever more
will a lonely soul find that open door.
Will you dance again to the song of life
will you always feel that turning knife.

Is being honest worth all the heartache
is you're self respect going to break.
Is being yourself the crime you commit
is it futile to try to love or is it deficit.

I ponder the questions most everyday
I wonder if I will ever have my day.
I am just a single blade of grass green
I want to be again part of the scene.

If only to feel that who I am had value
if only to feel more than I now do.
If a choice I had now here on my plate
if in the arms of one I would not wait.

Why do I my feelings try to express
why do I fee thatl all is just a mess.
Why can I never find what I do seek
why do I feel so vulnerably weak.

No knight shall I find in the lush dell
no lady will I be for another to tell.
No pretty rose red or white will I be
no castle will I dwell in with thee.
