Living Dead

Folder: 
Extended Metaphors

I am just another smile-ridden zombie

Walking the crowded streets in a daze

Broken inside and wholly dead in spirit.

My once-flowing blood has now run cold;

My presently pallid skin tries to break free

From my fragile bones to turn back to ash.

The stench that seeps out from my casket

Has become much too overpowering to bear.

And the lifeless corpse there in contained

Whose flowing blood has since run cold

Desires to be resurrected from the grave.    



Let this blood flow again.

Give me back my vitality.

Breathe new life into me.
