i wish i could feel
so that i can cry
or laugh
or smile for real
cause right now it feels fake
with walls too thick
and arches too high
soon it should be bound to break
It's so ironic how after heartbreak, a simple everyday item turns into the things that makes you fall apart,
And it doesn't take much for every little thing to remind me of you, even though you were the one who broke my heart.
A new emotion formed out of my mind. A feeling that doesn’t aim to stay in my heart and decay into my thoughts. I used to feel everything all at the same time.They weigh heavy in my mind.Each feeling all were mostly active at the same time I knew
A cardboard cut out
A want-to-be,
Of a down-to-earth
Personality.
Just a bit more in touch,
With reality.
Can't handle day-to-day.
And there's no such thing as peace.
So numb as ever,
We view our lives,
Through a lens called hope.
But mine is cracked,
And full of holes
Hello there, little warrior boy
Are you getting lonely?
Cheer for the saints,
It's the demons who own thee.
Fall up and bare arms,
Against king's of decree.
Learn how to let go,
I'm fractured, my love.
by my daily interactions.
every hello slips through my fingers like water.
a bit of it stays with me, of course
an echo of what I once held.
but i'm fractured my love.
All I've got left,
Are moss covered dreams.
Wrapped in a conccon.
my soul's falling asleep.
I feel numb inside
Detached from myself and everything around me
No amount of love or comfort
Could thaw this heart of mine.
I feel like a ghost
Its like your whole body is just numb n your thoughts are finally slower n you can actually think and feel the emotion you are sopost to feel... You have like more patients kinda but not really n you have a way way longer fuse till you get mad..
To dull the pain of losing you
I swallowed that nectar
Plunged the blade into my leg
But before i was consumed
I reached out to you
cutter, killer
what have you done?
did you learn to make tights knots?
or play with a gun?
Silent, Loner.
it this any fun?
you sink deeper and deeper.
the demons have won.
Empty, hollow.
Today is the worst day.
I knew it would be.
My last goodbye to you
Was yesterday
And I look back
To see what I missed
A call, a text, a post
Should I have
Called you, texted, replied?
Here’s what really happens, You shut down, you go blank.
One minute you’re here, the next one your mind is dragging itself around in circles like an old dog.
no i don't do much damage.
no, it doesn't hurt;
line after line,
and a grave in the dirt.
no i don't hate my life,
well maybe sometimes.
depression's a curse.
no that's not a lie.
In every night, there is a morning.
In every morning, there is a night.
But in the darkness of every night, there will never be a light.
How the world is against feeling numb!
The towering trees demanding awe,
The twittering birds crying for attention,
The fascination one feels from looking at a lake.
How beautiful the feeling of being in love,
they know not a word for her feeling
nor reveal the pseudonym state of mind
Lucid images scream
high with clarity
but all is dark and neon will dance undefined
Breath init hurts
Breath outit hurts
Breath init hurts
Breath outit hurts
In thru my mouth out through my nose
I'm home and I'm alone.
I have family and personal issues so I beg for a clone.
My dad tries talking to me but I tell him to "leave
me alone".
Ive turn cold, I can't even imagine what it's like to grow old.
I feel
like
I'm always
on the edge
of something.
Waiting.
For what,
I don't know.
Anything
happy,
or anything
sad,
I wish not to be forgotten
Or my seemingly numb heart
Because of the things I’ve said
But did not meant
And my dry voice
I don't know if
I'm anxious
or depressed
or suicidal
or really if I even exist.
All I know is
nothing seems real
and all I can feel
is the absolute lack of feeling.
You have consumed my thoughts.
How are you?
You have become a part of my daily routine.
Should I text him?
You drive me crazy.
Why hasn't he replied?
I think I am becoming depressed.
I am terrified
I shelter my heart with my hands
I am terrified
to hurt and to hurt another
I am terrified
I am numb
I am... numb
I am terrified
so please, please don't abandon me darling
My body is no longer tied down to this rugged earth
by limbs too weighed down by darkness.
I'm floating. unfeeling, nothing but air.
The usual chaos has stopped its storm
A year ago I had been frozen.
The frigid frost had seeped into my mind,
Spread into my heart no matter the obstacle I had set before it
And I could not stop all my senses from becoming numb to the world.
If I may be honest,
I don't feel much
anymore.
There are things,
far and few
between
that cause a twinge in my
heart.
A wilted flower,
a father's embrace,
a lover's prayer,
I should be sleeping,
Smiling at sweet and happy dreams,
But instead I lay here in bed,
Anxiously awaiting day break.
I fear closing my eyes,
And wandering into my head
What is worse than breaking a promise,
One you made to a friend?
Breaking the one you made to yourself.
I made myself a promise long ago,
When the world seemed open
That I would be okay.
Follow the flow of the wind.
Long days and clocks never say goodbye,
Going in circles watching your whole world spin.
Hope flickers like a small flame
Easily put out in the wind of the ghastly night.
So I lay on the cold hard floor
Staring at the silver moon dancing.
Dancing with the fading stars
Across the onyx abyss.
How did she get him?
How did her get her?
Why do we have to be related
Live under what they call a roof
It's gone
It's past
It won't come back
It's dead
It's faded
There's a crack
In what once was
But now isn't
Anymore
It was open
But now
The door
Is closed
Nothing stands out
Numbness takes over
Robotic movements
Apathy bleeds in
And emotions
Fade away
Muted and dim
Somewhere
In the background
While a being
With no face
I can't feel.
It's not because I don't want to.
It's because of my past.
My past has scarred me so much,
Even if I wanted to feel sorry, bad, or happy;
I couldn't.
PUSH DOWN AND TURN.
Something quickly learned.
Sleep from a bottle.
Happiness from a flask.
Consume so much that I'm never coming back.
Numb my senses.
Fall in love with the drugs.
Often I find myself in thought
Silent on the outside, screaming on the inside
Internally I fought
What if everything changed?
What if it got better?
What if it got worse?
What if it I was happy?
I am alone at the sea.
Bound by the wind.
I only go where it flows.
I've only been where it's been.
I am transferred to the desert.
Sit on top of sandy dunes.
The sun scorches my skin.
I’m the kind of girl, who will go outside without a coat on
And lay in the middle of an ice rink,
Until the coldness turns everything numb.
And I welcome the cold
I welcome the numbness.
This world is so full of hate,
so full of pain.
People starve and go hungry,
People war and die,
Lets get a few things straight.
1. I am not okay.
and
2. I'm not the same person who left the house a few months ago.
3. There are so many secrets that I'm keeping.
but
The silence that fills his ears mirrors the emptiness that lives within him.Yet the chaos that controls his mindpenetrates as deeply as the scars that litter his skin.
She completely tore him apart.Molecule by molecule he started to evaporate,only there was no cycle of reincarnation this time.
Little hands
so cold and frail
against the snow, they seem pale
then the numbness comes
as senses fail
I'm lost.
I'm lost and I don't know where to go from here.
I'm being battered by the whirling chaos that is my mind.
I'm doing things that I never thought I would.
Need something to numb the pain
You've introduced yourself to intimacy
A vacation from the everyday with another vessel
The pleasure of being wanted takes over you emotionally
I've been searching for a long
time
For myself in the darkness
Searching for the right words to
chime
In order to feel that sweet
caress
The caress that is self discovery
Silence.
It can be a warm embrace after a world of chaos and pain.
The sudden realization of it all though, of the sheer sound of nothing, now that's different.
When you realize what silence brings.
Some days it feels like I barely have the strength to hold on to reality.
As if at any minute I'll drift away like a silky ribbon in the breeze.
Numb.
To everything and nothing at all.
We walked aimlessly with direction
happening upon that one perfect moment.
To Rest.
Sizzled mimosa pours freshen
my mind’s thoughts of you
sweet sweet endangered—
Dead eyes move in slow motion
Dead eyes see so much pain
Dead eyes look into the past
With the lenses of retrospect, dead eyes see everything more clearly
Dead eyes stare off, stilled by hurt and sadness
it's 4am and im not feeling sleepy at all
it keeps me wide awake, worrying
the silly little details that will not matter when i look back
New Years was only a couple days ago and im starting a new life
They go through their motions numbly
Like stiff, rickety robots without a care
They move through their actions dumbly
Like they could honestly be anywhere
Yet here I stand watching them numbly
Your sad voice echos in my head
Your words grate on my ear
My heart, my soul
I sing with you and feel your pain
A familiar numbness
creeps over my soul.
I feel nothing.
But at the same time,
I feel everything.
I feel the weight of guilt,
the pain of losing a friend,
I feel as if, if I let a tear drop my body would erratically shatter. To bite the bitterness away with coldness. To repress the said with utter and complete numbness. To shiver away the sense of alone. To drift off and never return.
Numb, so numb
My heart breaking into so many
tiny pieces would not
affect me in the slightest.
so numb
a paper cut is less than a scratch.
num, absolutely so.
Another nightmare into heaven
Send a prayer to the devil
Tell him I am no longer his minion
No longer his prize
How
am I supposed to focus on all the good in life when I am ever so
Numb
like the scars on my wrist, the ones that never made it past my skin
Frantic
I dare you to
Stare through the dirt-smeared windows.
Behold two panes of heavy glass.
Feel the pain of the tear-stained past.
Hollow and empty, they live while dead.
A generation defiled
Immorality welcomed
Violence befriended
Ignorance praised
I am a sinner
I know it
I own it
Stick it to the man
Stick it to their God
My God...
My fingers move like rusty chains
I hear the creaking of my bones as I try to move them
My fingers are numb
My toes and knees are as heavy as rocks
They shake as much as the trees
I can no longer feel my knees
Today I don’t exist.
I’ll be the sound of the falling tree that no one hears
I’ll be alone all day and won’t take a thing away from the world
Because today I don’t exist.
