Round Eyed Statue Poem by Zoe Elsworth

Finding depths of undesired
A numbness speaks to me
I cry dry tears within my soul
Is this who I’m to be?

Unheard prayers find my doom
I beg this heart to ache
Any feeling come to me
This smile is hard to fake

In darkness breaths escape me
I cannot bear the feel
To seek a life of living
A hand they’re yet to deal

So in this eerie silence
Where judgments fall so few
I’ll lie a round eyed statue
Of whom I never knew
