Numbness

What's it like to feel nothing at all?

To have an emptiness inside that's tall

No joy, no sadness, no anger, no love

Just a void that fits like a glove

It's like a ship lost at sea

No direction, no compass, no glee

A life without colors, without sound

A soul that's always underground

You try to reach out, but feel no connection

The world is just a vague reflection

People's emotions are a mystery to you

And you feel like nobody has a clue

What's it like to feel nothing at all?

It's like being trapped behind a wall

Just watching life as it goes by

And never really knowing why

But even in the darkness of this plight

There's still a glimmer of hope, a fight

For even in the emptiness, there's a chance

To find a spark, to break the trance

So don't give up, don't lose your way

There's still a light, a brand-new day

For even in the darkest night

The dawn will come, and bring back the light.
