And then after a long cry you shut it all out:

The World

You have given up:

On life

You pray to die overnight, but

You woke up, a Zombie:

Walking but not living

You eat sugar, but

You taste salt.

You laugh at jokes, but

Your lips don't part.

You see them talk, but

You can't hear.

You see everything, but

You have no vision.

You walk about:

Lifeless,

Slowly,

Aimlessly,

Lost.

You feel nothing, but

It's still something

You feel:

Empty

Or rather,

You Are Empty

You Are Numb,

...Dead
