Apathy, she screams
Give her apathy.
Apathy over fear
Apathy over tears
Don’t make her feel
For nothing is real
It all fades away
Every moment, every day
“Give me apathy”, she begs
She can’t move her legs
Out of this horrid place
This life is just a race
A race to the unknown
And she’s stuck here alone
At the starting line
But that’s just fine
Because she doesn’t want to run
She doesn’t want any fun
No laughter, no anger
She’d rather you hang her
Than be forced to feel it all
The flight and the falls
The deep, infectious love
And the lack thereof
Because it’s all a trap
To make her into a goddamn sap
Who feels all those feelings
And is always left reeling
But she won’t be tricked
No, she’s not that sick
She’ll keep it all inside
Locked up in that pretty little cage she calls Pride
Apathy, she screams
All she wants is apathy.

Thanks for sharing - An awesome poem pulsating with poetic energy and the very antithesis of the subject APATHY ! I have acquaintances who are APATHETIC and you have described them perfectly. A good descriptive poem must ring true ! Yours BRIAN
