Analysis of Is this real? What is real?
Walking through corridors,
Deserted and cold.
I look high and low,
Where did happiness go?
I’ll live to die one day
I’ll die after I live that day
To die is to be forgotten
To live is to be remembered
Have I died?
Is this just an illusion?
Made by chemical reactions and simulations
from my mind that is about to die
In another place,
another time
Millions of seconds
In just a single moment
Or am I just mad?
Have I lost my mind?
I regret to tell you
I have no clue
Is this real?
What is real?
Is it the world as it is seen?
or the state of things as we see?
Or is it an idealistic/notional idea of them?
Is it a thing that is firsthand experience?
I am still sorry
I have no Idea
All I know is to live
Live till I die…
