A State of Apathy

Apathy creeps in like a thief in the night Stealing our passions, leaving us without sight We become numb to the world, and all it holds Our emotions and dreams slowly grow cold We watch as life passes us by Without a single tear or sigh No joy or sorrow, love or hate Just an emptiness that we can't escape We see the suffering and pain But we feel nothing, and it's all in vain Our hearts are locked behind a wall And we refuse to answer their call We exist, but we don't truly live Our souls withered and our spirits passive We need to break free from this state Before it's too late, before it's too late Contest title: pick a title vol 36 Sponsor: Edward Ibeh Date: 05/01/2023
