I am Looking For Me


I searched myself,
https://www.flickr.com/photos/9933300@N02/5803068620
on Google.
Three times in an hour, not sure
what I was looking for.
Bored.
Clueless, for sure.
I saw my name popped up,
I saw me, my picture, news, accolades, data, information, Google, Bing.
Do people have time to read all this?
Do I exist outside of these pages?
Am i defined by these info layers?
Neon-lighted, layered, e-pages that no one cares for?
Does it matter?
I scrolled and scrolled down the pages,
So many identities, names, profiles.
Lying their unnoticed and unrecognized.
Lifeless lives, electronically dead, decaying encryption, digital IDs.
I searched myself, again, hoping to find something new, although,
I know.
Nothing has changed in an hour.
The cycle continues, and even-though I know
there is nothing new to look for. 
Yet.
I searched myself, one more time.
Is it to confirm that I am still alive? Or
To ensure my existence?
Is it because I don't know what else to do? Or
I cannot decide what i should do?
Google does not have answer to my questions.
Am I trapped with-in a powerful data center?
Am I becoming a series of codes?
Who knows?
One last time,
I searched myself.
To know I am alive.
To know, I am still being upgraded.
I could see a new update patch coming,
to add info on my profile page.
The new info was
the date of my digital death
Now, I know
what I was searching for
I was searching for me, myself.
Searching for that cannot be found on a page.
I was searching my soul.
