A Question

Faces are turning and words are losing ink Stories unfolding but I don't know what they mean Conclusions like a blade to the abdomen I'm watching life pour out and wondering how this is going to end I want to know I start to sink with lessons that I've learned The cover is worn and the corners are burned The spine is still strong But who knows for how long A story exposed hoping something was earned I wand to know where this is going I want to know if I've seen the worst I want to know what it all meant Feet don't fail me now I want to know my worth Pain is the plot But the ending is unclear Pages that cut deep with weight I can't bear I'm writing "why?" But the words are just smeared I laugh till my eyes burn and flood these pages with tears The question is what quest is this?
