Surrealness

 

Prompt: My strongest emotion in the last 24 hours? - Death/Surrealness


Every waking hour, it's hard to believe that I am alive.

My body feels like it's floating, heading to someplace I can't imagine. 

It's not hard to continue my daily life,

I do the usual - eat, sleep, work, breathe,

Still, it doesn't feel real. 

My mind and heart know that I am here; I guess my body does too. 

There's just something in me that expected more - maybe that's the soul.

I once lived a life of passion, one where I felt free. 

Now, though there's nothing but freedom, there are still pieces of me that feel like constant death. 

How do I manage to smile at my neighbours? Chalk up conversations about the latest happenings when I am truly not here. 

How do I move my limbs when every inch of me says there is no point. 

I know something is missing that makes me think my life is surreal. 

But, I choose not to call myself lonely or empty.
