On and on i will go.......

By Barb Davidson

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Alive in my body,dead in my mind, In between two worlds,there you'll find, I sit and stare, in pain, never asleep, A vigil on life, i'm not allowed to keep. I want to go on, to death as a whole, Or back to the world, out of this hell hole, Numb inside, i can't feel how it was, Just know that my death was not a great loss. They buried me deep, in the dark of the ground, But i woke and i scrambled, a new life i found, I don't want it, but can't die, i'm an undead you see, Can't live as the others, i want to be free. The smell of my flesh as it rots on my bones, Disgusts me, i know it,i want to go home, My family who sit there with tears in their eyes, I can't show them my body, so here i will lie. I tried to die again, i jumped from a train, Not noticing me, it passed me, i felt no more pain, Why am i like this? what did i do? God help me, i can't bear it, what must i do? I'll lie here in darkness, all through the night, When morning comes i'll shuffle, out of the light, I'm not cold, nor hungry, i'm not here nor gone, I'm nothing, i'm no one, i'll never be done.
