Maybe I Am Already Dead

Maybe I am already dead
And this
is my hell
The place
so feared
Well I can see why
It’s torturous
Horrendous
Times are tough
They really are
But who is to say
Giving up
Isn’t the answer
If so
What exactly is the question

wish I could remember who said "to live is to suffer" I have thought of similar things many times before. the beautiful paradox of "surrender to win" when I let go and let fate take its course, I find a much smoother ride. I think you may enjoy my poem "stuck in the middle" check it out, and thanks for sharing!
