WE ARE REAL

If every move is predetermined,
Every decision already made
It is just possible, we are mere characters,
In a game, someone else wants played.

We lie to ourselves, so we stay numb,
Create decisions where there so clearly, are none.
Choices to keep us safe in a lie, the game, already done.
Then by our own, falsified reformation.
Purely because, we swear it to be so.

WE ARE REAL.

Love this piece! Really some incredibly work here! It's an easy to read piece, but the topic is quite complex and really makes you wonder. The idea that we are lying to ourselves and swear to ourselves that 'we are real' is frightening but fascinating!
