Random Poetry

Just a little something I'd like to share... I know I haven't written any story whatsoever yet (or maybe I just haven't found the courage to finally publish it), so in the meantime have some poetry.

Unblinking eyes,
Staring, not seeing,
Asking, not caring,
All the same.

World full of people,
Walking and working,
Dead inside,
Devoid of life.

Not machines,
Yet neither alive,
For being alive
Means to feel.

Blank faces,
Always busy,
Never free,
Slaves of work.

Hopes and Dreams,
Who knows of them?
Who still knows?
Who still cares?

Hurting inside,
Falling apart,
Not showing,
Dragging along.

Not flinching,
Never letting show
The pain inside
Tearing me apart.

Unforgiving stares,
Watching for anything
To exploit and use
And turn against you.

Stoic mask,
Hiding behind,
Always alert,
One of them.
