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.

Profoundly sad. When one is numb, it is difficult to move forward. It's imperative, though, to get our from under that thumb! Good expression of emotion in this one. Lydi*

Its a great poem. Much like how I feel. You have a way with words that brings emotion and feeling to the reader (well at least me). I hope you know how much your words are an oasis for me.
