    "Numb"

    "Numb"

    I lie here raked with sobbing,feelings of what I have no idea.
    My mind it races and screaming out...Why???
    Lying here wanting sleep and all I feel is
    Numb
    My heart is pounding in my chest all I want is a night of peaceful sleep but still I lie here my emotions unrest and all I feel is
    Numb
    Trying to think,trying to understand not sure where my heart is anymore...confusion, fear, loneliness
    This isn't what God had in mind, how did I end up here seeming so un-blessed and all I feel is
    Numb
    I roll over in my sleep, a brief awakeness and I hear the song play over and over and trying to block out the words, the meaning it implies, there I go crying inside and all I feel is
    Numb
    I asked God in my sleep to give me peace and please don't let me weep and the music plays and I hear its rhythm and begin to hum and all I feel is
    Numb
    Life is a challenge and through it we must grow but why...why do I have to go through this alone
    My heart is aching, where will it go...who else will know...the hurt of not knowing, he let me go...was it just a game or just for show
    When all I want is sleep to feel no pain
    When all I am feeling is numb again

    Ouch..this really hit me as a personal hurt. Im interested in the experience or inspiration behind it. But your words guide my soul to feel the pain behind it..rather intense. Kudos masoda

    Very expressive poem. It leaves the reader with a clear picture of the damaged feelings of the poet.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
