Desert of Life

As the time ticks unending
I walk in an ocean of sand
The torment is unrelenting
But I can't bear to make a stand
In the burning heat and the desolate dry
Walk my blistered feet, no tears to cry
Begging God to let the rain come
Let me finally be awash
Wandering for days on end
I am without rest
Driven by the quest
To resolve my undying questions
Am I a fool to fulfil the mission
Or am I just punishing my flesh
Am I imagining this pain
Am I truly without breath
Am I dying without knowing
Is pain the only proof of life
Am I even alive
Is there evidence that we exist
Or have I created this nightmare
And all my torture is in my mind
