The Search

I searched and searched,
In the depths of the ocean,
In the vastness of the woods,
But I couldn’t find it anywhere,
And I cried out in despair.

What is it I’m searching for?
The emotions that I once used to feel,
Happiness, spark, and Zeal
Dear god, Am I ever gonna heal?

Someone suggested searching in me,
The answers to the questions I had for thee, God
Is this the time when people turn to you?
There’s nowhere else to go, and it is true.

I had started with one question,
Now I have many, after introspection
The same questions that were asked
By almost every single soul in the past,
And just like all of them,
I know that I may never find the answers.
