Tiger's Book of poetry - 13. Poem 13: Questioning

Questioning the sincerity of words

I wonder if they meant anything at all

Familiar patterns emerge with sharpness of pain

I should have known better than to believe

Questioning everything thought and word

I wonder why I ever believed they meant anything

Familiar words are spoken but oblivious I was

I should know not trust a damn thing they say

Questioning the paths of uncertainty

I wonder why I let myself to trust at all

Familiar paths I tarry when I should know better

I should know when to look for a safer place

Questioning all I have ever been taught

I wonder if there’s a better way of life

Familiar people do not know the real me

I should cut my losses and start anew
