What Is Life?

How does one function
I don’t know how
I didn’t know then
And I don’t know now

What must one do?
In this world of doubt
Where does on go
When feeling shut out.

Where has this world been?
And where is it going
Am I on it or not
Or is this all a showing?

When I pinch me, I’m here,
That is for sure
But is my mind with me
Or floating off earth

I feel like I struggle
With just being alive
If I could let go
Then would I die?
