Zombie
Sleep beckons among the shadows
comes calling like a distant friend
"trust me" written upon it's face
one question,
"where have you been?"
Fear existing in solitude
hiding behind fraudulent smiles
happiness the order of the day,
nightmares
awaiting the night.
Off in the corner a machine waits
two switches
and doctors orders
a pill or two
and a mask,
life support
in the air I breathe.
Sleep comes calling
in days with no end
trying not to think about past crimes
and what happens,
if I don't wake up this time?
