Modern Day Zombie

The modern day zombie
Is folk like you and me
Keeping real life at bay
Living a virtual reality

One day we will awaken
To see where we went wrong
Our social skills have been taken
We've been plugged in for way too long

Walking around in a daze
Sleepwalking through life
Partaking in the current craze
Mind blunter than a plastic knife

We're all becoming braindead
Happy with our little distractions
Living in a world inside our head 
And never taking action.

Denial

I am in denial
About everything, about life
Ignoring all emotion
Soon it'll cause me strife

I bury all my feelings
Kid on they aren't real
Logical with my dealings
Never need to heal

The battle rages in my head
As the emotions are overpowering
Awaking what I thought was dead
My fragile heart is cowering

Dreams

Follow the dreams
That lie in your heart
It can be all that it seems
If only you'd start

Live for the moment
Cherish the hours
Stop with postponement
Relinquish all power

Forget all past fears
Just feed your soul
Spread around cheer
And soon you'll be whole

Soak in the sun
Cleanse in the rain
Just have some fun
While you work through the pain

Tomorrow

Lying on my side
I face the other way
My feelings I try to hide
As I really cannot stay

I'm leaving in a while
It's always been the plan
Commitments not my style
I hope you understand

My time with you I'll treasure
Forever in my heart
I'll think of you with pleasure
After we depart

Don't miss me when I'm gone
Or think of me with sorrow
A new days about to dawn
And we still have tomorrow

A Mere Humanoid

I thought I was a rock
Not vulnerable but strong
Overcoming any block
It's a pity I was wrong

I thought I was a bird
Always flying free
But now that sounds absurd
With all that I can see

I thought I was a mountain
Always standing tall
But it's impossible when someone's shouting
You're ever so tiny and small

I thought I was a tree
Feet planted on the ground
It was only what I wanted to be
Due to the chaos all around

But I am a mere humanoid
Vulnerable and weak
Trapped inside the endless void
Of never finding what I seek

Ideas

Staring into space
Lost in my own thoughts
Things falling into place
Ideas that I have caught

I want to see everything
Dance naked in the rain
Feel the joy that life can bring
Until I go insane

Climb the tallest tree
Frolick in a field
Dive into the sea
The story it would yield

Exploring on my mind
Adventure in my heart
I'm leaving this behind
My journey I will start

Self

Do all that you can do
Feel all that you can feel
Knowing in your heart
That all of it is real

Always trust yourself
Grow confidence within
Break down the barriers
Underneath your skin

Harm no other
And live with no regret
Make little memories
That you shall not forget

Cherish the bonds
That strengthen your soul
Love one another
Before you're too old

Free

For serious I care not
It's complicated you see
No longer even a distant thought
I just want to be free

I don't want to be tied down
It would leave me with regret
My face a constant frown
All the dreams I would forget

It's no one else's fault
But a flaw I have in me
Not yet an adult
Trying to be all that I can be
