For Julia

Is who I am when I'm awake a dream,
Or is facing death the real delusion?
Some of us scream,
While others seek seclusion.
A lonely path no one wishes to chart.
Vain, preening, needy, fierce;
All those mean nothing at the end.
Nothing is permanent.
My ever-changing self
Will become unrecogniseable.
However, one thing is clear.
The world goes on after we die,
Yet our possibilities remain infinite.
