The eyes open
And the body wakes
But the soul remains asleep
The body lives on
But the soul withers and dies

This is a wonderful piece. It's amazing how many people you'll see that seem as if they are only shells. You describe those people well. Thanks for posting!

Very dark piece here but I wouldn't expect anything different. Nicely done.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

you are very talented, there is doubt about that. I'd love to see you write about happiness even once though. I think you'd do really good with it. keep your head up

It happens all to often. People claim to be "living," but the soul is actually dead.
Quite sad it really is.
Good poem, you expressed this nicely.
