What's Wrong With Me?

What is wrong with me? 

An unanswered question that refuses to become unstuck from the back of my mind

A question with a seemingly endless possibility of answers

But none are quite right.

An endless well

With the illusion of water

But you keep pulling up dirt

When you try to reach the one thing that will quench you thirst.

But instead,

You are left with a hole in your throat

And raw hands from pulling on the bucket's rope.

Just more right answers

To the wrong question.
