Days of the Zombies

Introspection

How can I look at the humans if I can’t stop cashing out their eyes?

How can I look at myself again? I don’t have a clue, not a fucking clue.

I wanna look into their eyes, into their skull, into their brain.

I wanna stare deep into their humanity. Their sanity.

Remind myself they don’t care about me. But how do I live with myself?

I need another monster to check if I have a pulse—despite my atrocious fever.

What’s really going on with me? Why do I smell this way?

Just below my skin, the worms are crawling . . .
