Numb is not a feeling
We now live in a history book
we always have, but it’s like the reality of looking in a mirror and realizing the voice talking to you is yourself.
I forgot how to feel.
I don’t know where I lost the ability for anger, where it was buried in guilt intensity.
Sad feels a lot like tired today.
Stare at a wall for hours.
Does is matter?
I don’t remember the day, or time
Does it matter if I make my bed only to lay in it again?
Sun where are you?
Rain please let me feel you.
Clouds please shadow me, breeze please chill me.
I yearn to feel something.
Does it matter if I don’t? If I can’t.
“Stay inside”
I am stuck inside my head.
My heart is heavy with numbness.
Yet numbness has no feeling.
