Questions Unanswered

Am I dead, am I alive?
Am I a ghost, a ghost in disguise?
Is this why I'm unseen?
Is it why I'm unheard?
Am I in a body that's living?
Or in one that's interred?

How do I know if I'm dead or alive?
Should I test my theory with the sharpest of knives?
But what if I bleed?
What would it mean?
Is this all in my head?
Could this be a dream?

Suppose this is a dream, how do I awake?
How do I achieve a lucid state?
How do I know if this is a dream?
How do I obtain such episteme?
Who do I ask? Where should I turn?
Could it be that there is no answer to learn?
