One-Worded Question?

What?

What do you mean what?

I'm trying to explain

My thought and feelings,

What's going on in my head.

And you respond with 'what'?


Don't get me wrong,

I'm aware it's confusing.

But I'm bearing my soul,

and in response

it'd be nice

for more than a one-worded question.


Why do I bother?

How can I expect

Someone to explain my own brain?

Maybe my expectations are too high,

And I was doomed from the start.


But there is nothing behind "what".

No thought

or attempt

or even care.

Am I forever doomed with "what",

The careless one-worded question?
