Without emotions

Without emotions

 

 

Does my heart beat?

Yes faintly.

 

Do I feel?

Yes like the hint of a breath.

 

Do I hurt?

Numbness prevents me.

 

I feel no joy in this cold life,

how could I when my heart is locked away.

 

Tears no longer run down my cheeks,

for I am empty of even a single teardrop.

 

 Force me to my knees and punish me each time I feel,

for that is all I deserve in life.

 

My only solace is to be treated,

with disdain.

This was an interesting read, but something very true and relatable. Life can put us through so much where some develop the inability to feel any emotion. But it's okay to show emotion, to show that you are alive, hurting. I mainly thought about when people say that men shouldn't show emotion how women do because that makes them seem weak, but honestly, showing emotion makes us strong. It's okay for men to be as emotional as women, that means they are caring and actually have a heart. The dangerous men are the ones who cease to show any emotion at all, like serial killers, psychopaths and sociopaths. If you're sad, show it, feel it. It's certain that we get in touch with our inner emotions, it helps us understand who we are.

Well disdain might be your only solace, but you will get no disdain from me here. I will give you only praise, for a wonderfully sad-but-true piece. When you have experienced so much suffering and shed so many tears over it, there must come a point when you cannot shed anymore. Though you continue to bare witness to the suffering, the tears just don't come. The knife however, does still cut deep and the pain it causes is still there, you just don't feel it anymore and that is the saddest truth of all. Very nicely done my friend.

Thank you dear friend. You have said how I feel better than I ever could have.

[realmwriter]

You are very welcome and you say it just fine. I am no better, only different.

[ron]

Well I think you penned it better than I could :)

[realmwriter]

No. Just different. Yours is true to you. Mine is but a comment, an expansion on yours, if you will. I cannot except better. That was not my intent. I do not seek to be better than anyone. Only different.
