i wake up everyday thinking, i'll be okay today! i'll feel better somehow. but i just wake up feeling like a dead body. like i can see things walking and talking. i see dead souls smiling and laughing like their living their best life. when will i die? when will i get to stop feeling hurt and broken. when will i stop covering myself, hiding myself from every little scary thing. i tell myself people are no longer human. they are ghosts with ugly souls and pretty faces.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

Your last line, I can so relate to it... It speaks of great pain and sadness. Never give up, never stop writing! If you like to choose the correct form for your poem? It's not ABC bacause that has a very different strict set of rules. It is a Free Verse, that fits best. Welcome to PoetrySoup :)
