I do, I don't

I lie down
I don't collapse on my bed
Or hug my blanket comfortingly to my body
I lie down

I close my eyes
I don't rest them
Or drift off to another world
I close my eyes

I sleep
I don't dream
or hurt or roll around in my blankets
I sleep

I wake up
I don't fight the sun
Or reach out to greet the day
I wake up

I live
I don't embrace life
Or wish to die to release myself
I live

I go on
I don't use emotion
Or take advantage of apathy
I go on

    I loved it loved it LOVED IT! It explains exactly what i was going for (and also what i happen to be going through). There is no real hate, no love, no sleep, no taste of food. You are just there. And you don't care. You just are. period. Thanks for entering and best of luck!

    I like it and how clearly it tells about a life where you are just kinda passing through, not taking part or anything, just going throiugh totally unnoticed and unnoticing. Awesome job!
