Are There Answers?--By Thomas Canull--United States

Are There Answers?

How does one never let go

and one ... never say no

How does one walk out the door

without goodbye and nevermore

How does one change their ways

and forget about the yesterdays

How does one run away

and say they have gone to stay

How can one say they never cried

when something deep inside has died

Perhaps it's just a mystery

life seems more than that to me.
