My Cadaver
sometimes i feel dead inside
as though my soul and spirit have wandered off
to go travel without a body to hold them down
and left this sad cadaver here
to take life on
with only romantic dreams
of adventure and freedom from the worker’s world
my soul is soaring over the mountains
smelling the wildflowers
and basking in the green light filtering through the treetops
my spirit is exploring the world
from the top of the sky to the bottom of the ocean
seeing all that there is to see, good and bad
my cadaver longs to join them
to break free of its boundaries
and take off on a fantastic journey
but i am stuck with it
sad and exhausted, dying
here, in the land of reality
dreaming those romantic dreams.
