Zombie

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The ice is forming around this heart of mineAs I go through the motions with great precisionI wouldn’t feel the rays on my back if the sun chose to shineBut, watch as all the people who have made the decisionTo be different, all end up the sameSo watch as I walk down like a zombieAnd I would not bleed if you cutDisregard my words because I am not meFor I am stuck in this lifeless rutWatch me as I wander into the seaKnow I don’t know how to swimThrow me a lifeline at leastI don’t even struggle as I go downAnd watch as it comes to the surface, my feet!Written a year ago...
