Numbness

The feeling of numbness can be described in many ways

We all feel this, even if you don’t want to admit it

Being numb is like a dark cloudy day

Dull and boring

The feeling of complete nothingness

Or being in a dark room

Unsure of your surroundings but sure of the silence

Its like staring at a wall for hours

Can you imagine being paralyzed

Not being able to move

A complete loss of feeling

That’s numbness

It’s a normal thing

But can be the worst thing imaginable.

If numbness continues unabated for two weeks, it's called depression. Then it's dangerous.

I have a chemical imbalance in my brain due to my birth mother's carelessness. So, I do have depression and am on medication for it.

Glad to hear about the medication part.

Very evocative poem. Keep on writing and never stop expressing yourself in your poetry. Great job.
