- Home Zombies  
By: Cheryl Tracey

Next Random Poem  >>

I walked around like a zombie
Having no pleasures or pain
All my feelings were numb
Tears fell from my face like rain
They locked me up
And threw away the key
No one could understand my pain
Or what it was like to be me
I was pissed and afraid
Nobody knew what was going on
All the zombies bumped into one another
Any sense of normality was gone
The doctors smiled and sweetly sang
One tune after another
No one thought I was sane -
Not even my own lover
I was once told by a friend
Of a gift I processed
To see the world in the light
To realize our heads were all messed
Now I’ve ended up here
But I don’t want to stay
I'd rather be in the world
Yes, in the world any day
