Zombiefied
Have you ever woken up
At two in the afternoon,
Ready for the day to begin
Only to find everyone else was
Winding down
And staying in?
Thinking to yourself,
Why bother getting dressed?
It's always on those days alone
You seem to look your best.

You've turned down a day's
Worth of plans because
You're dead on
Your feet --
Literally zombiefied,
Brain fried,
Searching for emotion
Behind the pale white sheets,
Creating reactions
With electroshock therapy.
You're horoscope this month
Says you'll be strapped for money,
But there's a cutie at the local bar
Offering you a good night for free --
Though your safety in not guaranteed.
Put on your dancing shoes,
Go on and have a good time,
It's okay to cut loose
Every one in a (great) while.
But don't think that
This is over yet.
The Boogeyman strikes
When you least expect.
