Why Do I Question?

Questions and questions and questions

Changing moments, days, and years

Human existence is change…

But to ever what purpose?

Ahhh… the questions, always seeking

Seeking the answers, finding questions

What is my purpose?

What should be my plan?

Where shall I go?

Who can help me understand?

Why do I ask the questions?

Why do they plague my mind?

Every question is an offered path.

Each answer is the road taken.

As the chrysalis holds the secret

Of the worm’s metamorphosis,

So every riddle spoken holds

The answer to my queries.

While I breathe, I think… I ponder,

Forming catechisms of every aspect

of this life… then and now and when…

Living, growing, always in this

Always never ending inquisition…

This interrogatory examination of Life.

Questions and questions and questions…

Changing moments, days, and years…

Human existence is change… 

Evolution is Life.

But… 

Changes bring questions. 

When I have no more questions, 

I know, it only will ever be because 

I no longer have breath to ask them.

It's human nature to question everything; it's the curiosity of our being that allows us to question; and where are the answers? Ah that's the tough one, but as you say so succinctly ":every question is an offered path...
each answer is the road taken"....which may satisfy the question....."changes bring questions"... and that is part of life, part of change...we must go with the flow, in a sense.....even though mant of us fine it hard to do....make a change and be satisfied.....we may still question!
NICE!

Questions are the worst case of haunting. Even if you get the answer, the question will still remain... in a different light... I think too much, so I find this poem relatable... :)
I also like your style, it's very fluid and enters your mind quite easily... Great work!

Careful! Thinking is where all those questions came from! :D

I ask these same questions. What is my purpose?
What should be my plan?
Where shall I go?
Who can help me understand?
Why do I ask the questions?
Why do they plague my mind?
I always ask myself, "Why do I question everything that goes around me?" and well now I know the answer. And I guess that questioning healthy to the mind; it makes us wiser and alert...that is just my take on this.
The question that I ask the most is “What is what God wants me to do? For there must be a reason to why I am still here.”

[MomzillaNC]

Those answers are found in the stillness, when we stop rest in silence for the still small voice that speaks to our hearts.

Questions always, always, lead to more questions, the ulitmate search for truth.
I personally am a big fan of "but why". kids...

Very thought provoking MommaZ.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. I too have found that answers lead to more questions.
