Empty, empty shells

broken, drunken voice

Devoid of emotion

the crooked eyes that looked,

Lively, hunted face

nothing worthwhile to do.

In these days, we


search for what we hide inside,

A tide that forms


a blunted memory roots


Beer, drug capsule

a memory shop



I have nothing to do.



Plagues on my teeth

smoking, darkened lips

Dirty nasty hair,


weak, swollen hips

Shabby, rough nose

cocky, bony torso

Malnourished,


evidence, the protruding collar bones

Lost the will to live

drunken cripple lazy bones

Someone rock me


to sleep.

Till the end of time

I wake,

My work begins,


meanwhile,


I have nothing to do.

The author's comments:
When u look at yourself what do u see, only yourself. This piece comes from me as a fact showing in this world we are all alone to watch for ourselves and this loneliness leads to demotivate u and makes u lazy unable to find a reason to do anything. I hope when read it they will understand the importance of people around even if they are enemies. Never does a story can be told as if it were only ones.

I like it. The spacing is kind of odd but I can definately feel the emotion.
