Alive, But Dead

Alive , But Dead !

My life is empty, just a repeated routine.
Nothing exciting, nothing to be seen.

My life became a never ending night.
Lost, scared, lonely and nothing in sight.

I am empty without a soul.
I have no heart, instead a hole.

I live a life with no honor or shame.
To me there's no difference they're just the same.

I forgot how to smile, only to frown.
Why show emotion? If no one's in town.

I've lost my senses, I can no longer feel.
I have an internal wound that wouldn't heal.

I've lost my taste; I don't know what's sweet and what's sour.
I can't even smell one single flower.

I've lost my sight, I've become blind.
I can no longer think, I've lost my mind.

I can't stand, I can't control my feet.
Am I missing something? am I incomplete ?

Who am I? I don't remember my name.
Why am I like this? Whom should I blame?

My life's like a piece of wood in a flame.
After it's burned there's nothing left to claim.

I'm alive; I have blood running through my veins.
But I'm also dead, with emptiness as my reign.

    It was a beautiful poem.While I was reading it I just started to remember the same feelings that used to come to me before, but this is life.It's so cruel to the point that force each human to hate him self and think he's nothing, but we shouldn't lose hope and keep fighting.

    Wonderful poem.5\5.
