Numb

Shitty poem I wrote...

Numb

This numb feeling is taking over,
Slowly creeping through my body.
Starting in the heart,
Finding its way down.

If I am supposed to be feeling sorrow,
Where is it?
Distracting myself seems to work,
But that dull ache is still there.
That ever-present pain,
Gripping tightly to my heart.
No matter what I do, no matter how hard I try,
That feeling is still there.

Is this self-induced?
I can’t seem to tell.
After all,
You’re the one who did this to me.
Even so,
This feeling of nothing continues its sweep.

Sooner or later,
I won’t be able to feel anything.
Whether that is a good or a bad thing…
I can’t seem to tell.

I don't think it's shitty, Capri. I believe we all feel something like this at some point in or throughout our lives.
