She stands upright in walking death, Eyes blind to the living and cast aside, Her heart still beats and she takes breath, But the soul’s feelings is gone off to hide. Her steps move her across the street, To where some man then takes her for a ride She takes breath and her heart will beat, But there is no touching the cold inside. Rumpled, bruise, tattered and now ripped, One foot before the other carries on, Body forgot and mind rough stripped, What will be will be and what done is done. Cluttered room on dirty mattress, She mingles her blood with insanity And rides deeper into darkness And further away from reality.

Thank you, Nakdthought, Pleased you like my humble words, All I have to do to be inspired in this way is to look out the window, One of the advantages of living in the big city. Gloom |

Thank you, Serenity, I guess it depends on the person, Most would think it not the best of lives, But whom am I to judge. I just watch young women addict themselves to heroin And waste away to empty shells. I can think of better ways to escape. Gloom |
