Pondering my existance


Hmmmm.



Why am I here and where am I going?

My unanswered questions

the list keeps on growing.

I hear and I taste, I touch and I see.

But how can I be sure that I'm really me?

I recall scattered images that resemble my past,

They come and they go just like the shadows I cast.

Do I live in my mind or do I live amongst others.

If so, where do they go when I pull up the covers?

If I shut my eyes are you still there?

Where does smoke go when it dissolves in thin air?

The more questions I ask, the more I don't know,

I'm beginning to think this is all one big show.

They say if you have faith, you'll see the way,

But they won't show you unless they are paid.

Do i create my own world that is right for me,

or do I leave it to the dealer of destiny,

but when things go wrong who do I blame?

I am the one that needs to carry my name.

My mind and my body are in constant battle for control,

trying to bribe the umpire who resides in my soul.

I began my education before I could crawl.

yet after so many years I don't know anything for sure.

Is that my answer? Continue to seek and explore?

When I'm fast asleep, I dream that I'm awake.

If I had to choose, which reality would I forsake?

Am I the same person that appears in my dreams,

Perhaps he knows what all of this means?

Does he keep from me what I keep from him

Why won't we allow each other the key to get in.
