Chaotic Thoughts (What am I?)

We all have these thoughts... sometimes at unexpected places

Chaotic Thoughts (What am I?)

The sound of the soul echoes inside

Is that me, is that my sound I’m hearing?

My thoughts are firing, but I can still hear me speaking

Am I speaking to myself, or is it the brain squeaking?

Wait… what am I exactly?

If I was deaf, would my thoughts have a voice?

Is that voice the same voice I speak with?

If I pay close attention to it, I can’t tell

It disappears as soon as I look… like a phantom

Or a ghost… lets stick with soul

So am I inhabiting this body, or is it a part of me?

I think and it moves

I move and it grooves

I groove and its smooth

What am I?

Looking out at the world through lenses, am I?

“The eyes are windows to the soul”

Is it literal? have I been so detached

Looking out of small windows in this habitat

Biological, and so supreme

But once again, is it really me?

Or is it simply a machine

Maintaining itself… but wait

I feel hungry sometimes. Is that me, or the machine

Why should I listen to this thing?

I am the master, if what I think prevails

But then again, even a car needs detailed

That’s enough for now

Fluuuuuuuushhhhh!

I’ll maintain amity with this machine for now

    This is great. I think whether I'm a machine or a soul depends on the day. Well done.
