Am I Real?

Am I an illusion?
Because it feels as if
I'm not myself.
Just a vague outline.

I'm a black hole,
Burdened on the inside,
Dark for the outer world
And insensitive to light.

I try to be calm but
This rational thunderstorm,
Daunting to be ceased is
Contentedly caught in my core.

Thoughts seek to hold me
Inside the rib-cage
Of our torment,
Unstoppable and unbearable.

Am I real?
Because I can feel it.
I can't be a shadow now,
For shadows don't love...
