Numbness


As I was reaching to taste A better tomorrow The sun fades and everythings gone. Pills the doctor had prescribed wore Off. Sleepless nights and screaming hearts, bloodshot eyes and rejections knife. Numbness, Tainted my mind like wine on a white table cloth. Pain over flow Flooding gates. The metaphysical body, Worn and unable. And now I drift into S   P     A        C          E Feeling nothing but numbness
