Scream the Secrets In My Head

Sounds of fly's, buzzing over head, 

have left me wondering if I am alive or if I'm dead. 

Before they drive the nail and rest me in my bed, 

please someone tell me, am I alive or am I dead? 

Heard the noise in  the head, I figured was what was said, 

was that I was dead. 

Outside in the dust, I smelled the mold and must 

and I guess that I should be alive. 

I sense the growing hive, a singular thought inside. Count me down my days, 

as I grow closer to the haze. 

For in this maze called life, we all deal differently with strife. 

So languish on no more, to walk hastily through the door, 

never to return the key, so as not to look and see, if I am alive or if I'm dead.

Senses over run, bullets in the gun

I've blown away the key, now violence is left to be.

Blinding in the light, I suffer to the fight,

no other reprieve for me but to stumble setting free.

Am I alive or am I dead?

I remember why I referenced Emily Dickinson when I first read this. She wrote about a fly buzzing around her head, but I'm pretty sure she was extremely depressed and talked about dying a lot when she was writing then. I still like it. It makes me think of the mystery story types with the main character questioning whether or not they're alive because sources indicate that they're not, but they're thinking and breathing.

I still don't know if I'm alive or dead or if this is all one big dream. But at least today, I feel alive. Thank you very much.

Wow, this is an awesome musing on what it is like to be alive I think. When your mental faculties are in doubt, then you can be in a heap of trouble.

Thank you so much. If the tingling in the tips of your fingers stars to go away, then you must be dead, but alas if it becomes more, then you must be alive.

Reminds me of being both at the same time...for to be dead we have to be alive to some degree and to be alive...we are already death...scream it away love! Let it ride through light and turmoil...in the end...they are both the same...for this is all illusion :) Mwah!
