Nothing

A tear rolls down my face,

As my lip quivers,

And my body shakes,

I gasp for air but I am drowning,

Drowning in my own misery,

Is what I would say,

But today I just feel nothing

I smile as wide as I can,

Showing all my teeth,

I squeal in excitement,

Dancing around with joy,

Feeling nothing but happiness,

Is what I would do,

If I actually felt something today

I scream at the top of my lungs,

Throwing things across the room,

I break all my pencils,

And rip apart my bed room,

Yelling with every bit of anger inside me,

But I don’t,

Because today I feel nothing

My heart races,

My breath quickens,

I feel parilized with fear,

As a pit forms in my stomach,

And I swallow the scream that was forming in my throat,

Is what would be happening,

But today nothing has come out

Great poem about the feeling of numbness that I can completely relate to. I love the descriptions of the types of different emotions one would feel in a day but instead feeling indifferent and no emotion at all...nothing

Just a slight correction in the last stanza "I feel paralyzed with fear".

P.s. can't wait to read what happens next in "Freaks of society"
