How Do I Know

by Nicole M. - Gemini

How do I know
  you exist
and for that matter
  in what manner
am I living?

 My senses?
Are you reality
   if I can feel your skin...
Do you posses a threat
 when your words penetrate?
Are you as probable
  as these thoughts
because you're visable?
I don't think so
   Senses lie to us
constantly
what good are they

I can't convince myself
  any of this is true
maybe this is all
   just chemical
reactions gone bad
    perpetuating
a society for myself

How do I know
  when I die
this all goes
 too?

Diagnosis
  but it doesn't make it any better
with drugs
     the thoughts are they
maybe you'll burry them a little deeper
but they'll come back up again
    they always do
no matter if you burry them
in someone else
   

Then again
  maybe we're right
the few
   just right to know

ignorance is bliss
  so shove the blue spheres
 down into our secrets
