My mouth, it moves,
and the words come out
But I'm the walking dead
who's stumbling about.
My ears, they hear,
and the words come in
But I'm the walking dead
who's full of sin.
My eyes, they see,
the people around
But I'm the walking dead,
above the ground.
My arms, they move,
to and fro
But I'm the walking dead
with nowhere to go.
My legs, they walk me
here and there
but I'm the walking dead
and nobody cares.
My heart, it beats,
but it goes unheard
I'm the walking dead,
saying not a word.
My soul is bleeding,
but none can see
For I'm the walking dead
and no more is me.

Poetry: Apathy
by Ryan Baxter
(a)pathetic
Never before
have we cared so much
about caring so little.
The stimuli prodding every
brain-cell we have,
every
My mouth, it moves,
and the words come out
But I'm the walking dead
who's stumbling about.
My ears, they hear,
and the words
I see in your eyes, two of me
But they are not quite the same
One is a widows eulogy
The other a future of fame
I suppose it
by Marie Duval
Complacency can’t recognize
The flames which burn and slowly rise
I’ve learned to love the smoky smell
The heat
ADRIFT
The current doesn't pull me in directions I fight against.
The tide doesn't rush in to overwhelm me.
I am still anchorless
