3. I felt a Funeral, in my Brain

I feel the purpose of this poem really focuses on an extended metaphor of an actual funeral, but really describes the expression of someone with depression, or who has been forgotten. This person might be quite dismal and actually consider death as an option. So describing the metaphor to someone's real life: Stanza 1: The author is lying in a coffin, like at a showing. In real life, people walk past this person and do not know how to respond, or do not pay attention. Stanza 2: The funeral service begins, but the author really wants us to focus on the beating, not a drum, but a heart and that is all that is heard. Stanza 3: The author is taken a way to be buried. Outside of the metaphor, time keeps passing and space goes by. Stanza 4 and 5: focuses on the burial into the ground and then it all comes to an abrupt end like death.
