Emotions that can't be felt
Written in sadness and confusion
Acceptance that doesn't feel real
Shown in interruptions and possession
Wondering when some went missing
Wondering when others went numb
When did I lose the ability
To feel the full range of sadness?
When did I start to take issue
With everything said where I could hear?
Anger became my default
I translated everything through that lens
Maybe I just needed to feel something
I still need so badly to just be heard.
