Am I alive or am I dead?

I check my vital status, I try to calculate…
…I explore my apparatus, I try to judge my state…

As I see the years rush, my doubts encapsulate…
…I listen to the humble hush, of my god forsaken fate…

It’s not about the joys now, it’s about my doubtful state…
…No sense of rejoice now, When the happiness is late…

I think I am, then I think I’m not, What’s love and What’s hate?
I check my calculations plot, and then I try to judge my state!

I found the Deepest treasure, Am I really that fortunate?
My eyes moisten with pleasure, as the joys perpetuate…

Future imitates present, the present is out of date…
Present isn’t a “present”, vague is what I rate…

I pinch myself, I feel the pain, and then I sink down on my weight…
…I analyze the potential gain, and then I try to judge my state…

Am I alive or am I not? the question itself is vague…
…another one of my restless thought; a quest to dissipate!

  1. Hey yan! i stumbled upon your blog and its slick how you wrote this poem. But I’m thinking that a guy with so much talent like you shouldn’t be fixated on the lemons that life has to offer. Instead, with what you’ve got, you should get out there and make sure whether you “are” alive or not.Also, i read your other post on how people shoot at your ego. Don’t let it get to you… What matters is what you think… everything else, depending on its value, is secondary.Keep up the good work! -Arias ^o^ \m/By the way, please check my blog out. I’m writing an online novel. hehe

  2. I don’t know much about the poets list…But, I personally feel that u r the best.One can’t articulate about their fate… U r the person who knows how to subsist.Though my English is not that good to appreciate..But it is true that u r work is first-rate.Inspired from u yatin …the post is superbly made….. Well-done…
