existential beings

My body has suddenly become paralyzed,

I can no longer feel my heart pounding.

Despite where I may go, I can’t find my mind.

Am I even on this universe living?

 

Non-existing beings never make a sound.

My heart does not cry, my mind does not think

Can I feel again, is my soul not allowed?

The value of my soul has dripped like ink.

 

My shadow does not exist in the sun.

The reflection in the mirror is gone.

My name cannot be found, despite all I’ve done-

I’ve left and I have nothing for too long.

 

I hoped to live a worthy existence,

but you do not see me as resilient.
