Losing Myself
I have been waiting too long for that big crazy sun to start
screaming those answers I seek.
But week after week,
time after time
it does nothing bit drift cross the sky
I have been dotting my thoughts with question marks
open-ended morality
shot after shot in the dark
and the funny thing is that
I don’t always remember my own name or
recognize my face
it’s all just a dream,
I’m starting to think
it’s a figment of my electrical mind.
So are the power outlets alive?
Why do I feel my own soul but doubt it
in anything else that I find?
I want to separate myself from mankind
I’m a ghost stuck to this flesh,
but my essence is far from this life
I am a product of the stars
of relentless physical laws
I am a moment on the timeline,
an opportunity to be conscious of myself.
