Evolving Emotions: Numb

Sights have lost their luster

Songs are no longer melodious in tune

Colors are gray

Lights have darkened

In a haze

My pupils lazy

My mouth lame

My limbs heavy

Unable to express

Unable to cry

Unable to feel

What would it take?

To allow the dreaded

Thoughts

Sensations

And concerns

Inside

Accepting them

Embracing them

Unafraid and willing

Would it make a difference?

In the haze

There is no beginning

No middle

No end

No light at the end of the tunnel

It is an indifference

A distance

An apathy

Disturbing as it may be

Not feeling

May be dangerously appealing

As a small price to pay
