Step by step,
I walk the road.
My lungs have breathed
my blood has flowed.
'You're still alive!'
the doctors said.
But as far as I'm concerned,
I'm the walking dead.
Shaking and gasping,
the walls call out.
Voices whisper:
'There's only one route!'
I shake my head
but the voices go on.
I tear out my hair.
I just want them gone!
So I grab the gun
and close my eyes.
I smile to myself.
There's no goodbyes.
