“Illusion”

Do I exist?

In the midst of the storm, when rain slams the door

Bombarding it with torrents unmeasured.

Do I exist?

In the scorching heat when the sun burns with pride

Devouring every morsel in sight.

Do I exist?

In the cracks so deep, far and wide

Spilling the betrayal and pain inside.

Do I exist?

When the air is too thin

Sharp like a needle

Challenging each breath – in and out.

Do I exist?

Or am I also an illusion

Like the love you claimed was forever mine.
