I’m An Enigma

I’m Different, Like Everyone Else

By Earl W. PearlPublished 2 months ago • Updated 2 months ago • 1 min read

I’m life without living
I’m dead without death
I fear without feeling
I’ve air but no breath

I think without thinking
I speak without thought
I cry with no tears
I’m here but I’m not

I’m strong without power
I’m rich with no wealth
I’m fun without pleasure
I’m sick with good health

I’m springs without water
My tides have no shore
I’m trees without branches
My walls have no door

My songs have no music
I’m straight with a turn
I’m truthful while lying
I’m smart but don’t learn
