The Answer

The answer is you.

I ask the question.
The answer is you.

I ask the question,
Run some possibilities.
The answer is you.

I ask the question,
Refuse the answer
Try and hope and pray
For anything else.
The answer is you.

I ask the question
Doubt all that I am
Ignore the logic
Consult the emotion
Search far and wide
Deep within
Looking for an escape.
The answer is you.

I ask the question
Question the question itself--
He doesn't answer back.
Mental breakdown,
Insanity, profanity,
All I want is that
Glimmer, that sparkle
Of anything that spells
An answer that isn't the answer.
The answer is you.

Clearly,
The answer is you.
