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…
