are you real

really
real

or did i dream you up

am i real

really
real

or an illusion
in a funhouse mirror

if i hold my breath
and
squeeze my eyes shut
tightly

i can hear the ocean

thwump tiss
thwump tiss

if i hold my breath
and think really hard
really
really hard

i can almost touch you

are you real

really
real

or just another broken part
