Am I Alive?

Tell me, am I?

I don’t know what to do anymore,

Where to go, whom to believe anymore.

I don’t know why it’s all happening to me.

I feel so dead,

And I don’t know how to wake up from this.

“It’s life”, they keep telling me.

But I don’t hear anything beating inside.

The pain has numbed me.

They say, “it’s a part of being alive!”

But is it?

It’s dark everywhere, and so void, I can not breathe,

The infinite nothingness, the eternal endlessness,

Is it life?

Tell me, am I living?

Am I, am I, am I?
