Numb

Just something I have been feeling lately

My eyes are swollen shut from the sadness that I hold deep inside

 lying in the dark abandoned, all alone I am blind

I have forgotten what it feels like to be held in warm arms

I am cold and I am numb

My dreams are what keep me breathing, they are all

that I am

Wow Trisha.. this is a feeling that I can relate to, all too well. This is, pretty much what happened to me for a while, only I wasn't even able to hold on to my dreams. This write brings a lot of emotion to the surface for me. I can't even pick any ONE line that stands out because EVERY word is just perfect. Beautiful work sister, always remember... I love ya.

An emotionally striking poem. The wording is beautiful, poignant, a glimpse into pain.

"My dreams are what keep me breathing, they are all
that I am"
Such powerful words. This is a sad poem, but these last lines are full of meaning and hope, as if dreams hold on to your self, while on the surface you suffer.

You packed quite a punch with so few words. Very moving piece. I can relate. Thanks for the read.

Very much relatable.

My dreams are what keep me breathing, they are all

that I am

This line hurts but it is the one I can identify with the most.
Brilliant expression.

I love the simplicity of this poem, and it is a very touching tribute to feelings of sadness and brokenness. The line `My dreams are what keep me breathing' is very powerful. Great poem!
