Numb

I sit there,

Staring off into the distance.

Maybe I don’t cry anymore,

But it feels like those tears,

Have been soaked by my skin,

And that they reside in me

Numb

That’s how I’d describe the feeling

Somehow, I know that its worse

Than being sad

That feeling something

Is better than not feeling at all

And yet, it feels strangely better

As I hold no hope of being known

And without expectations

I couldn’t dream of better times

Nor wake up into dissapointment

And that is when this thing starts

The overwhelming feeling that asks me to feel

This thing in my head that asks me to feel the pain

And not keep it in

For if I shove it in any more,

It’ll probably never leave me

And I desperately want it to

As I want to feel again

I want to be able to smile

Without putting too much of an effort

I want to feel things which I thought were impossible

All I want is to feel..


quote: “And I’ve just got to let myself feel the pain, because if I don’t, if I keep numbing it, it’ll never really go away.” know the book?

PS:Also, have you ever felt this? A place where you feel the inability to feel itself?

  2. beautiful. this write has come from deep within. Would you care to share?
    I for one loved it a lot. this is me kunjal. And i have felt it a few times. But not as if it has prolonged into numbness. All of us shove the feeling of sadness in our heads. we dont let it out. i also dont let it out believing i don’t have patient listeners!
    but.
    when i do, the sleep is good,
    thank you for this!

    1. Thanks kunjal!
      This was a phase and the remnants of those times came back to me and thus the poem
      Same, its hard finding listeners
      Exactly, its a strangely peacful thing when it goes away
      Well, thanks for reading!

  3. Beautiful! 👏
    I so relate – I’ve felt it a few times – just being numb – no emotions. Doesn’t feel good but I do think I prefer it to feeling all the hundreds of emotions I feel normally. 🙈
