lost(in my soul)

July 1, 2013
By Anonymous

just
plain
Mary Jane
just dull
just scuffed up boots
and tired smile
Just wrinkled hands
shadows in my eyes
Just walking zombie
hearing all these voices
lurch and shift
hit the sidewalk
and my stomach starts growling
Sleep in my bed
and my father starts yelling
Just laughter
rolling deep
Just glossy magazines
circling the things I wish I could buy
Just snug dresses
on sunbaked skin
just eyes brightening
just feeling the sun on my neck
just taking a breath
and stopping to live.
