To Know I'm Alive

If you bleed,
and I don't
then I must be dead.
An empty shell,
with nothing coursing through.
Like the living dead,
but maybe they too have animation.
I'm empty, simply there for their entertainment,
so they can have a power struglle,
over me.
If they finally stop,
will I have animation?
Will blod finally course through my veins,
will I be alive finally?
I can only wish I might,
without it how can I know I'm alive?
