A Problem Within


 

I look upon myself for the answer;

Deep within my mind the truth lay untold.

What haunts me more than one frets of cancer;

I wait for the truth to show and unfold.

 

The problem keeps me up many a night,

Luring me into a trap once more;

One emotion runs free within; tis fright

Until this fright becomes what I adore.

 

Once this problem comes close to the correct,

theres an unseen twist, as when one plays chess.

Once again, a small detail I neglect.

Until at last, the answer; this success.

 

As deep as this poem may sound to thee,

The meaning is simple; within the key.
