My Body

Another one of my newest poems. Enjoy :)

Sometimes I see my body

Whether it is living or not

            I do not know

I see my body floating in water

Staring up to the sky

            Haze eyed and blue lipped

I can see all the creatures in the sea

Moving and living without me

They do not need my body to survive

I do

            Though I do not live

I breathe

I am alive

            Though I do not live

Eat

Sleep

Numbness

Is that living?

I stare down at my body and wonder

I wonder if it’s really me

            Or is it all a lie?

Am I really me?

Who am I supposed to be?

Why am I me?

I ask questions

            Though I am not philosophical

I seek answers

            Though I am not scientific

I create

            Though I am not the creator

Who am I?
