sometimes
i dont really exist
as i sit before you
your words pouring into my mind

i hear nothing
i'm in some nonexistent world
reaching a conclusion about what i am not

then suddenly as if echoing my thoughts about my own self
you ask me if you are boring me
and i hear myself saying you are not
my hand seems to be brushing a strand of hair from my face
and i am wondering about the connection between me and my self
feeling that i only half ever exist

"Feeling that I only half ever exist". Powerful thoughts, and I have had this feeling also. To me, it's like being removed from everything, seeing it happen, but not really able to fully be there. Painful. Take care.

A non-existent world?  What a wonderful place, one could just go there and disappear forever, you must tell me how to reach it!
It’s like watching your life on film, isn’t it?  The helplessness is so…exquisite.
