If I was a young zombie
In a boring, normal city
I would have to walk to school
For nobody would find it cool
To sit in a bus with me
…
If I was a young zombie
No kids would be friends with me
Alone I’d sit, alone I’d play
They’d hate me at night. They’d hate me all day
It would feel so terrible and lonely
…
If I was a young zombie
Unlike the ones they show on T.V.
I’d be nice to one and all
Humans, big or small
Even though I’d go hungry
…
If I was a young zombie
They’d call me ‘Green Belly’
They’d laugh and talk
About how I eat and walk
I’d go crying to my family
…
If I was a young zombie
I’d be mad and unhappy
I’d swap my dollars and cash
For a little meat and flesh
Then I’d be glad and happy
If I was a young zombie
Really a nice piece of imagination ✌

Look back at how I could have done things differently. Or I could just model for a video game or a comic book on my life

Is being an alcoholic like being a zombie? Would you be a sober zombie? Would anyone notice the difference? You’re writing is great…and funny…keep producing!

How miserably we fail to understand other humans and cultures. They’re Zombies to us. Outsiders. NOT us.
You’ve expressed the idea beautifully.
Am I over-interpretting?

No. There is no such thing as over-interpreting especially when it comes to poems or poetries
