I sit on my desk
and interrogate life
I demand answers
for questions not asked
I expect the truth
but I don’t know its form
Blinded by my own self
I cry without feeling
I scream without weeping
and I die without living
By standing on the shoulders
of all the giants before me
my legs become weak
Reasoning to stay in rhyme
I’m holding myself in me
So let me try out what’s lacking
Give rhymes a reason to die a thousand deaths
Hold a funeral for my farewell to abstraction
and see the other shade of my two-faced self
Your words have the depth of a different nature, something that’s crisp from outside but flowing within. Appreciate the thoughts.

I am impressed by the understanding that you … we, by implication … don’t always, or even often, recognize the answers to the questions we face.
Well done.

I scream without weeping

That image suggests much of the context within your writing. I really enjoyed it! “I expect the truth but I don’t know its form” resonated with me. Nicely done, Rahul!
