Numb

My head is pounding

my feet are moving

Where are we going?

We don�t know, we don�t care

Just keep moving, moving, moving



My mind is numb

I know not what I�m doing

I�m on the ground

How did I get here?

We don�t know, we don�t care

Just keep moving, moving, moving



Everything�s a blur

My feelings are numb

I dimly sense what�s around me

Wait, what was that?

We don�t know, we don�t care

Just keep moving, moving, moving



I don�t see a thing

I feel no one�s touch

I am simply a machine

That keeps on running and running

Why am I doing this?

We don�t know, we don�t care

we just keep on moving, moving, moving



It never ends

I never stop

my mind is in torment

it won�t let up

Please let me sit here awhile!

No just keep on moving, moving, moving

and all will be fine.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem was inspired by a book we read in my english class which was a first hand account of someone who survived the concentration camps of the Holocaust.
