is this real?

By Jesse Guzman

Is it unfathomable 

To believe we're already dead? To believe we're already dead Could it just be that you're   All figments in my head.         Illusions on the surface   Fabricated ideologies   Call me delusional   Feed my anxieties         I shouldn't think so much about it   The notion is maddening   That all the worlds suffering   May not even be happening?       But they are! Was this necessary?   What's the point of it all?   Torturing artificial feelings    Byproducts of a creation so flawed       Another case of trial and error   Cause when we're all gone   The only proof we were even here   Is everything we did wrong.

    I know the questions I ask myself. They're not far off from your own. I think it's real and none of us have all the answers. I refuse to believe, even introduced to theory and contemplation that this miracle, at times brutal and disgusting, could ever be all for not.
