Knowing [ poem ]
I always wanted to know
How it would be like if I weren't here
or rather how it would be like
to see myself though other people's eyes.
Or to dream about you in my sleep
wishing that you'll stay there forever
but to wake up and notice
that dreams are nothing but opposites of reality.
Or maybe just reading about Shakespeare's poetry
and thinking about his question, " To be or not to be? "
and whether or not it is really a question
when it could actually be an answer to one of earth's mysteries.
But what I really wanted to know
is the reason of my living
and my purpose in life.
Sadly for me
Those are the questions that will never get any answers.
