Keep on moving, moving, moving.
Fate is cruel,
And worth reproving.
Keep on trying, trying, trying.
Life’s unjust,
There’s no denying.
Keep on going, going, going.
The point:…
There’s no way of knowing.
Keep on fighting, fighting, fighting;
Be it by pen,
Then keep on writing.

My body fights while my mind runs away.
How can I get it to stop running, and stay?
My body, it lives, though my mind…it plays dead;
And quite convincingly, acts as brainless instead.
You do not know me…as I am not there.
I hide and you do not notice or care.
You call me a moron for being unaware;
As I run further away in despair.
What can I do? And what can I say?
To make my restless, broken soul stay?
I look out, trapped behind my eyes,
And it’s no longer me who hurts or cries.
My body fights while my mind runs away;
Though sometimes I wonder…why should it stay?

You talk to me and I listen.
You smile,…yet I feel sad.
I talk, and you don’t hear a thing;
The connection’s always bad.
You look at me, and I at you.
You move, and I stand still.
I see you, yet you don’t see me;
And I fear you never will.

*Static*……………………………….”Hello?”
“She’s not here.”………………”Not here?”
“She’s missing.”………………..”But where?”
“In the basement.”…………..”But why?”
*Sobs*………………………………..”Don’t cry.”
“They left her.”…………………”Who did?”
“Everyone.”……………………….*Static*
