Once a girl full of wonder
Now mobile, breathing corpse
Go to work, then come home
Nothing happens but remorse
Holidays are nonexistent
Feelings just the same
Eating to postpone the grave
In this body devoid of flame
Her life perceived as over
No writing & no thoughts
Ceasing to create her own
How can this cycle be stopped?
Swept into imaginary worlds
Through books & in her dreams
Scrolling through her phone
Wasting time staring at memes
What happened to the soul
That sparkled like a diamond
In the society, which is rough?
Her light diminished
Her world now dark
When will it be enough?
They say the spirit is eternal
That it goes beyond the grave
But, what happens when the spirit
Becomes the body's slave?
