To Be Alive

If to be alive,

Means to be fulfilled,

Then I am not alive.

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoqLtJWUhQ

I am no being.

I have no purpose.

I am a solitary object,

Trapped in the limbo;

The pure purgatory of my own thoughts.

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSqX11f2l6

I may plead,

I may yell until my throat bleeds

And my legs collapse.

But there is no hope for me,

A simple object in the devoid reality

Of the universe.

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvYI99288Y

Nobody notices me.

Not enough to think of where I came from,

Or who I truly am,

To them, I am a simple character in their complex existences,

When to me, I am nothing,

Yet everything at the same time.

520Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvqov34ynn

So I shall keep afloat,

For now.

Drifting mindlessly through the world,

As an object,

But nothing more.
