My arms won't move
My legs can't bend
Toes don't twitch
Eyes can't see
Ears can't hear
This numbness
Once more is gripping me
Thoughts racing through my mind
Forcibly coming to a stop
The only thing moving
Is my beating heart
Numbness, inside and out
Freezing me to this spot
I can't feel
Can't comprehend
Time and feelings
Mean nothing to me
Apathy.
Numbness.
Nothing.
Darkness enclosing
Blackness embracing
Something inside me
Unwittingly decides
My heart will go on beating
My eyes sewn shut
My mouth kept closed
The silent breathing and beating
Keeping me alive
It's the times like this
When nothing is in my mind
Sanity frays
As a saint somewhere prays
Beating, breathing
Numbness.
Life.
Nothing.
How long will the numbness last this time
How much time will slip away
How long will I feel nothing
Go through all the motions
Of only being alive
Breathing, beating
Life isn't worth living
Darkness.
Numb.
As time slips away
I've been like this nearly all day
Quiet, numb
Only alive
Nothing to live for
Dead inside
A walking body
Lifeless eyes
Voiceless opinion
Friendless soul
Numb, dead, asleep
But for how much longer,
Alive?
