Numb

Numb

A Poem by What happened to simple old me?
"

It all creeps up on me, I can't breath nor gasp for air without gasping for my life, in sheer panic and hatred,, why my body dissatisfies with life and dealing alone, with others. That very moment...

"
breathe short heavy masks, impossibly
choked on 
repressed thoughts and memories, 
have me deep drowning, far vast
fast coiling my mind 
the need for air
fresh in the back of my rash throat
as I slowly collapse in on, 
myself, always around
ask me when I'll be free
why not just leave me alone
a little while
to deal, to breath
and I'll come looking out,
refreshed, from this..
numbing lack of space
creeping up on me,
the guilt I cause from your leave
if guilt at all,
my fault, my release
the wisdom, and knowing
your oblivious nature
well-hidden love
my only, one 
and only, the escape from this
reality.

it's like a vacuum, isn't it? an implosion of emotion into a "less-than-nothing" numbness.
