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?
PPS: RED(TV) IS OUT AND I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF IT (swifties will relate)
is it a paula hawkins book? it sounds familiar. 😅 i cant remember. and I WROTE A IDK WHAT I WRITE (a paragraph?) on this feeling once too. i love how you captured the feeling and still talked about being numb <33

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!

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

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. 🙈
