Shadow of Myself

I don’t know What I should think, How I seize to exist, How I can drive Without seeing anything Not the road, the traffic, Or anything else. I act as if I am Dead but still alive. My body is there, But it is just an empty cover, Package without content, Hallow skin Without any ability To feel anymore. Smiling at everyone When there are no more tears left To be shed and cried. Acting happy Though my own world inside Is crumbled, shattered, And doesn’t exist anymore. Therefore I can only Maintain, be and exist Cuz I am not allowed to leave behind and quit this life of mine that doesn’t have any worth, meaning or purpose anymore to me or another. So all I am now Is a shadow of myself…
