Description I feel so sleepy in my head
Is this what it feel like to be dead?
No, not true, I can't be dead
I still feel thought inside my head

I see a figure, iron clad
He doesn't really seem that bad
I think I either am not that bad
Does this mean I too am iron clad?

I hear voices from the shadows who speak untrue
They haven't really got a clue
Does anyone still have a clue?
I wonder, still, which clue is true

I search for a spic and easy way
To try and make it through the day
But it gets worse with each passing day
And I fear that now I've lost my way

I find it creative that you've started and ended each paragraphy with the last word of each line beng the same, and the middle words also being alike with each other.
And for my answer to the title. I think, dead. I'm not sure why. Maybe because, it seems, the story depicted in this poem doesn't tell of someone moving into anything newer, or progressing into anything at all. But, to me, seems to be telling of a constant current reality. A dead kind of reality.

The question you can present here though is "Is this death permanent?".
Now I know death usually is permanent but not spiritual death.
If you lose your path is it possible to regain it?
Is it possible to adopt a new path?
Or is it the end to end all ends?

I feel it is like a new reality, or a new path. You can adopt a new reality and path, I suppose. Though, if you are to be spiritually dead.. I think that trying to change would be an unlikely route of behavior.
I want to add, now. I'm unsure whether I believe to offcially become dead, spiritually, is a permanent form or not.. Despite initially implying I don't believe it to be permamnent... Thank you for the question, also. You gave me something to ponder

The former was indeeed more likely. I feel that to be in a state of spiritual death would not be acompanied with a desire to change.. for the better. There just wouldn't be any lust for life there.
Yep, philosophical musing is fun I'm always pondering, can't ever seem to stop. Lately 've been thinking about society and other such forms.. how they came about, why etc. Not that I haven't before.
I know I'll just end up confused and angry though : P
I mean, for example, why do some so blindly follow laws and verdicts, that were invented by others like themselves, in courtes, when the right decisions are obvious?
But I guess loose laws would leave much more room for destructive authorities. I don't know.
Anyway, does that not just anger and confuse you? Not souly the example, but the kinds of actions it was depicting.
Heh, don't read too closely to what I said, I couldn't beginto make clear my perspective in just two paragraphs. I don't think anyone could.. especially on such complex subjects.
And yeah, poems for me are simplifying or expresing huge things I can't stop thinking of.. they're quite psychological.. or philosophical.
Heh, sorry about the long reply, I'm just in an extremely writey mood today

Do you mean, when you say that trying to change in a state of spiritual death is an unlikely route of behavior , that the state of being that a person is in would not allow that person to change or that the dead would not wish to change. The former seems more likely.
Aren't philosophical musing fun? I haven't pondered on anything for a good while, unless you count writing a poem as pondering.
