Journey Into the Unknown

Let me take a journey into the unknown A journey that might change what I thought I had known A journey into the self A journey into me The id, the ego Who am I? Would I still be me if I stopped doing what I do? (Would I still be me) if I changed my face? (Would I still be me) if I changed my living space? What is life? Is it the breath, the body, the spirit or the soul? Does it have anything to do with style? Am I alive when I sleep? How is life affected when I weep? What is love? What is love Is it the friendship, affection or adoration? How do I know when I am loved? What signs are there when I give it? Does my family always love me? Do they love me when they are angry? Do they love it when I am mad or sad and feeling bad? Do they love me when I don’t love them back? Someone tell me what is love? Now let’s talk about death Is death always cruel? Or is it sometimes a favour? I wonder why people cry How else can you meet your saviour? My soul is troubled My heart unsettled I am afraid, so very afraid Why were we created if our inevitable destiny is death? Who has the map to paradise? Who knows about eternity? I need answers about morality Somebody talk to me about equality Tell me about justice and truth Do these things really exist? Some things you will never understand Where is the fairness when someone puts the letter l in lambdacisms and the letter s in lisp.
