Numb Poem

I feel the stillness settling in,

A sense of emptiness,

a lack within,

My senses dulled,

my heart is cold,

I'm trapped inside,

no one to hold.

The world around me fades away,

And I'm left with nothing left to say,

I try to move, to feel alive,

But it's as if I've lost my drive.

The colors that were once so bright,

Are now muted,

out of sight,

The sounds that once filled the air,

Are now hushed, and I can't bear.

I'm in a state of mindless void,

A place where nothing can be enjoyed,

And yet I'm fully conscious still,

Of all the pain and all the ill.

I'm numb, but not in the way you think,

It's not a feeling that's gone in a blink,

It's a state of being, a slow decay,

And I'm lost in it, day after day.

But I know that someday I'll find,

A way to leave this state behind,

And feel the warmth of life again,

And be free of this unyielding pain.
