Numb

   

 

     What can you do when you feel numb

 

    How can I laugh when I have no emotion

 

Feeling as though I'm stuck under someone's thumb

 

      I cant get in motion like the ocean

 

         Times telling me to move on

 

    Though life has me frozen in the past

 

         Even though my past is gone

 

        I've been declared an outcast

 

      They say time can heal anything

 

    But how can I heal when I cant feel

 

 When feeling numb is all I'm remembering

This is a good piece. It really pushes the emotions into the words. Numbness...that oppression of the past and the fitfull walk down memory lane, it serves a purpose for us humans. It gives us an opportunity to take a long look at what we've been through and find the learning lessons from the events, be them bad or good.
Remember that no matter how society pushes you, this way and that... you've always got the opportunity to turn your gaze upon new roads and begin a new path. Nothing wrong with change for the better.

Great Ink! Honest and expressionful.

Emotional and sincere. Numbness can be a safety mechanism. Nice drop. Thank you for posting.

Your emotions come through really well in this poem. It's hard to be patient for things to get better when you have been waiting for so long already. I know the feelings you describe in this piece

I've learned when one thing is taken out something better is put back in return:) I've felt numb but now I feel love:)

Yes, it is good, in case you're still wondering. Thought-provoking and sad, but very interesting. Makes the reader answer the questions...OK so what if I was talking to myself! Still love it!

Thanks for the share

It makes me sad. The past is hindering his/her future. This rings true for so many people unfortunately.

Thank you for sharing this.

[JordanIsaacSmith]

Really good piece! There's a lot of feeling in there. It's a really heartfelt poem and I really enjoyed reading it.

Usually poems never spark my interest or make me feel anything. Usually poems never inspire me. Until I read this, I really connected with it. It made me feel like I'm not the only one traveling through this. Very good.
