a poem about living


The food I eat turns to dust

The water I drink turns to rust

I cannot feel the winds cold breath

Nor the sea spray upon my chest

For I am the living dead

I wish not be and die instead

I cannot laugh I cannot cry

I cannot live I cannot die

For I am the living dead

I wish not be and die instead

    Your spirit is astonishingly alive and well since this work, greatly transcending the dead baggage you once carried around! Am I close? This is a beautiful portrayal of where I believe you once were, and no less a great piece of work! I believe you are alive and enjoying life more! Be blessed my child, be blessed!

    Thank you Meri! You are observant too! Poetry is a great form of expression and often helps to clear away some of those bogey thoughts. I am in a much better place now!

    I had the same feelings, and thoughts like this before. I can relate to this poem 100%.
