XXIX. What I Am Is a Lie

3 1 1
                                    


What I am is a lie

nothing but illusion

I shouldn't be

still I am

in this field

of fogs.


Existential guilt

I'm sorry

if I waste time

and skin

of a rotten body

among shadows.


A touch of reality

but it's so distant

it makes me sick

it's not a part of me,

I'm a witness

but have no power.


A passive life

no different from death,

just a waste

just a mistake,

I feel nothing

I am not.
