Are we

Are we  the right way up, are we upside down 
Are we standing still  are we spinning around

Are we back to front? Are we inside out? Are we walking in circles to find our way out

 Are we  fast asleep? Are we wide awake? Are we 
 Meant to be here, or were we a mistake?

Are we alive or are we  dead? Are we listening to the voice that is talking  in our head

Are we  well, or are we  sick? Are we all magicians, and our lives are just a trick

Are we all  pawns in a game? Are we being used? Are we  living a life we  will eventually lose?

Are we real or are we just an illusion? 
Are we able to make sense of our confusion?

Are we stuck in a box, are we looking for a door
Are we walking in both directions, not knowing what we are looking for
