Realize

by Dave Blattler (16)

Go on without the thought of me,
The condemned hold me for all to see,
Always remember, but never be,
...This zombie.
*
Wander without guiding light,
Roam the streets in hopes of you,
Damned as a child’s fright,
Never going to see This through.
*
Go on, never turn around,
To the horrid past I’m bond,
Always remember, I’m never found,
...As this zombie
*
So starless night falls,
Stares know well what to expect,
Light disappears and makes me face them all,
Not one gaze owes me with respect.
*
Go on, don’t start to cry.
I won’t let you see me die,
Don’t speak to me, I’ve had to lie.
I choose to be
...This Zombie.
