Numb

When emotions run out and you become numb,

When all the sorrows, all the pain, are just too much to bear,

Your heart is broken and you are a lonely shell,

Adrift, a lost soul, bound by grief and darkness,

No clarity of thought, only ensuing madness do you see,

Blind in shadows, gone from all reality,

Nowhere to go, no one to see, only agony,

Down you fall, forgotten, never to be remembered,

Lie there broken, stay there broke, never try again,

Then you ask yourself the question,

A slow burn to the mind, and heart,

Can you rise, brush off the past,

Can you stand and feel proud once more,

Will you stand and feel the warmth around you,

Do you want to stand and fight some more.
