Yesterday I stayed eating grub
I munched and chewed
Hoping to taste something different
Hoping to taste a single flavour
But like all the days before, I taste nothing it was bland.
Yesterday I stayed listening to the silence
I listened carefully and intently
Hoping to hear something different
Hoping to a hear a sound
But like all the nights before, I hear nothing but silence.
Yesterday I stayed breathing the stench
I sniffed and whiffed
Hoping to smell something different
Hoping to smell a new odour
But like all the days before, I smell nothing but stench.
Yesterday I stayed staring into the darkness
I stared glaringly and gazingly
Hoping to see something different
Hoping to see even a shadow
But like all the days before, I see nothing but darkness.
Yesterday I stayed touching myself
I fondled and caressed
Hoping to feel something different
Hoping to feel even the tinniest bump
But like all the days before, I feel nothing at all.
I am nothing, just a ghost in a shell
But I beg you not to tell
Keep this secret of mine
Let no ear hear of it
For I fear what they would do if ever they got word of it.
