Who Remains
Who remains if you lose everything. Status, language, story, name. Who or what remains in you that still lives.
Is anyone there for you.
Does anyone hold you.
Do you wish for something.
Where are your feelings. Do they help you.
Can you ask someone. Someone who knows what you don’t know. What you never learned. What you never looked at. What you only showed.
Does anyone look at you.
Does anyone want something from you. Does anyone want to sell you something.
What do you smell. What do you feel. What do you taste.
Who am I now. Can I answer that. Or can I only live in it. Without an answer. Without a hold. Without myself.
Can I choose. Can I invent. Can I breathe.
Do I have a past. Will I get a future. Does the present help me.
Do I feel hunger. Do I feel longing. For love.
Do I regret. Do I remember.
Can I change.
Do I want to answer the question. Or am I better off running from it.
How long can I still ask the question. How much time do I have left.
Will anyone help me. Does anyone hold me.
Does the sunlight reach me.
What comes after. When I can no longer ask. Is that the end. Is the end the answer. Is the answer the beginning.
Is there still a beginning. Or is it the end.
Can I ask the question while I’m alive. Or am I already at the end.
You ask yourself the question alone. Then you are alone. I leave you alone. I give you the question. I don’t ask it of you.
Who were you until now.
A perception by other people. An interaction. A reaction.
Are you more than that. Are you more than what others think of you.
Are you what you want to show. Are you the one others are supposed to see. Are you a figure you created yourself. A figure you made so you’d be noticed.
How do you want to answer the question. Do you want to create a new figure. Are you already starting.
Does that answer your question. Who you are. When nothing is left.
Can you decide that. Can you choose. Can you create anew. Or do you lack the story. The history. From the origin to yesterday.
Because today you are no more.
Who do you want to be tomorrow. Will there be a tomorrow. Do you have the strength. Or do you want to go back to what you are.
Then delete this question. It may be you don’t understand it.
Better delete it if you can’t carry it.
