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?
