Teen Zombie
Location
Dead, rotten flesh falls from my face
Mouth agape, jaw hanging my a thread of skin
Eyes yellowed, and maggots crawl out from every orifice in my body
I hear some then I hear none
The things I hear are not worth listening to anymore
So my half-dead ears tune in and out for me
I escape, think about the life I had when I was alive
It was a happy simple time, a care-free 7-year-old
No one could ruin his shine until one day I ran into traffic
Trying to catch the ball of sunshine that rolled into the street
I lied there in the street, blood flooded the day old tar
People walked over me not even caring
they even said horrible things about me
They decided to just bury me in Cobb's Creak
They spat on my impromptu grave laughing as they left
The deer, foxes and rabbits all pissed on hand that sticked out from the ground
years later, I crawled out, the memories all too freshly cut like a wound
My eyes were all dried out from the salty tears that were there
I wasn't even fully dead yet! No one even cared enough to check on me
I'm sure a doctor could've saved me, but no one cared
I came to the realization that no one cared about me
I had no friends, no one to love me
I guess it is good that no one says I love you
Because it would be half-hearted
You let people in and they take your most precious memories
they take your darkest moments and your fears
and use it against you like a weapon
It's a good thing my heart rotted away years ago
My brown eyes darked, the whites in my eyes no longer
No dreams to be crushed, the hopes to be shot down, no heart to be broken
I'm content. But there are times when I do wish I was alive
