Can I be living

I am working on a poetry bundle.
I would love some feedback though.
"can I be living" seems bad english? but poetry has no rules? i kind of like it this way...do I need question marks?


Identification


Can I be living

Without doing something

Without making a product

That eyes can see or hands can hold


Can I be of value

Without writing things down


Can I be someone

When I look to the sky

When I wonder at nature

Or anything passing by


Can I be of value

When enjoying this life

When seemingly doing nothing

But beholding the sky


Can I be living

When seeing and feeling

I’m surrounded by life


When coming up rashly

Unexplainable joy

Excitement that’s above me

Captured by all


Is it enough

To feel I am living

To behold what I see

To be happy inside


Is it enough

Not to create anything

To marvel at nature

And what man had in mind

Beautiful buildings

Awesome creations

On top of it all

Life that’s inside


Is it enough

To have my identity

In being creature

Above my creating

Above playing God


To be loved and be held

To be the joy of heaven

To be an act of Deity

To be Someone’s delight


Do I accept the gift of life

Embrace it with thankfulness

Do I know Who’s I am

Is it enough?


Is it enough to be living

To enjoy what I’ve got

Or do I keep on striving

To become what I’m not


To become what I cannot be

To become what I don’t even want

To become my own god


Am I allowed

To be a creature

To enjoy life He gave me

And let God do His job
