Is there a point to this madness?
With what reason do you ask me my plans?

This time I will not falter
My strong hold will keep me grounded.
There’s no telling what can happen when a dream is followed
With love and tenderness, anything can blossom and grow.

Your sharp tongue
Constantly shutting me out, shutting me down.
Who says I cant be anything, cant do anything?
Don’t you worry darling, I will see you in the future.
I will have everything I have dreamed of, which isn’t much
I just care to dream, and want to touch.
I’ll be damned if I let you step in,
So why don’t you step out?

Absolutely, it's no problem. And yes, you did a great job with the questions, I felt everything balanced out really well, it was not like there were more questions than not! Experimenting is always great and if you ever want more feedback I'd love to leave ya some. By the way, all of your poems are titled so well!

Thank you so much! That means a lot! i have been unsure about asking questions in my poems and partially answering them so this was a bit of an experiment!

Hey there! I don't believe I have seen you on the site before, it's nice to meet you! Something about the word 'lullaby' always catches my attention and I must go and read it, so of course I chose to read this poem. I really like the title, it's really interesting. And I think you author's comment explains it all, could not have said that better myself. I love all of the questions in this poem, I too asked myself the same questions. So I think it's really important to include questions in writing because it gets the reader involved on a deeper level, where they can include themselves, ya know? I need to put more questions in my own work! I enjoyed the attitude of the poem as well. I think you ended this really nicely and there again it was a question which made it all the more better. I enjoyed this poem!
