Numb

This poem captures the emptiness within a deeply pained individual, at one point, this individual was me. Amidst the realm of pain, we are found with unknown possibilities for change and new beginings

"Numb" 

By: Gianna Contillo 

The emotional trumpets blare, 

but I don’t care, 

I still feel nothing down in there. 

I am cracked in half,

At times, I forget I can even laugh. 

Pain has taken a toll,

and it will be a while before my heart will feel whole.  

But down the brave hearted path I go...

Where it leads, I do not know, 

That only truth and time can show. 

Author's Note

Can anyone relate to the feeling of feeling so much, but still feeling nothing all at the same time? Can you relate to knowing you have no clue where to go next, but trusting the direction your taking will lead you somewhere better than your current position? This is how I felt writing this poem a year ago....Not sure how this will resonate with others? Looking for opinions....This is deep, How does it feel when you read a DEEP poem, I know how it feels for me, and I know I can easily write these as soon as my pen hits the page, but I always wonder how they resonate for the reader? Opinions and conversation welcome! Thank you for reading!
