Numb

September 24, 2014

My face is numb

My legs weak

My body limp

And I dont feel anything

I feel no pain

No happiness, No sorrow

No nothing

I dont know

How to be me

How to have feeling

My mind is blank

Its like I could fall

And break everything

And wouldnt care

I wouldnt feel it

So why not end it

I'd feel that

But I'd feel nothing else

My body's numb

I feel nothing

I've forgotten how...
