Zombie ~oh To Dream Again~
Dead
Yet still alive
Still breathing
Beating pulse
You could call me a living dead
A zombie.
Day by day
Just trying to get through
Sleeping without dreaming
With no promise of tomorrow
But if I did dream it would all be worse
Because I would close my eyes and see your face
And that would not help my condition.
In my world
The sun never shines
Not because it is hidden by clouds, no
It has failed me
Ran away
There is no moon
No stars
Not even clouds
Just a blank white sky.
Numb
I wasn’t happy
Nor was I sad
I wasn’t angry or bitter
Though I was previous to my death
Now I’m just numb
I long to feel something
Anything.
I’ve ran out of tears to cry
I ran out of reasons to smile
Living a life that’s not worth living
In a world where I don’t belong
I don’t fit in
I never will
I’ve always been different
And in the eyes of others
Different is scary.
So I do my best to go unnoticed
It is painfully easy
When your out of the minds of everyone
Easily forgotten
If ever thought of to begin with
If I were to disappear
No one would care
No one would dare cry
It’s a sad fact of life
At least mine.
I’ve been fighting this for so long
I’m beginning to tire of this battle
Oh how I could just give up
Just to rest
Permanently.
I close my eyes
Shut them tight
As I slowly begin to fade away
Leaving the world around me
I open my eyes
To the sun on my face
In the open blue sky
I smile
I’m at peace
I’ll dream a dream that is already coming true
And that dream would be of you
Only to wake up with a promise of tomorrow.
