ALL I AM IS DEAD

My soul is so sad,

And my wounds are not healed

My days are black,

All I am is dead!

The rainbows had arrived,

But the colors take flight,

Alive the life might be,

But all I am is dead.

The devilish sun so bright,

Though the trees give soothing shed,

And yes! The birds are singing,

But all I am is dead.

The white clouds looked bright,

As something new they get,

I tried to rebuild a smile,

Yet all I am is dead.

A thousand of soothing pills,

And a million of hopes I met,

Yes, there is a silver lining,

But all I am is dead.

I gulped the whole deep ocean,

But my throat is dry, not wet,

The thirst is on its height,

All I am is dead.

The clouds, trees, oceans, and rivers,

With the rose that is bloomed and red,

Alive they all might be,

But all I am is dead!
