I sometimes wish I never felt anything at all
I don't mean to sound dramatic, no not at all
I just wish the feelings would stop for a while
Then I could have peace in my mind for a while
Emotions are tiring, so is my crazy wiring
Trying to navigate through life, avoiding strife

I sometimes wish I never felt anything at all
I sometimes wish my overactive brain would stall
I find myself envying those who don't feel anything
Then I imagine what it's like to feel nothing
Emotions are draining, so is my crazy wiring
Trying to traverse through life, pain is rife

Not how I am feeling right now. But, there are times when things get too much. I am sure it's something we can all related to.

No kidding. Well done
It would sure come in handy sometimes.
I, too, often wish I felt nothing. It would just be so much easier. 😔 Well said, my friend ❤️
