Everything is now
A shade of gray
The vibrancy that once existed
Gone
Every action made
Without thought
For the thoughts
Have run wild
Creating their own world
Off memory
Separate from reality

Blank face
With no expression
Eyes lifeless and dull
Heart full of pain
Body moving off
Instinct alone
Mind stuck in a
Pit of quicksand
Spine broken due
To carrying
The weight of the world
On shoulders
Feet cut, swollen, and bruised
After walking over
Scorching gravel
Full of broken glass
All in the hopes
Of finding peace
Comfort after pain
A closure to the suffering
Yet no end
Is ever in sight
