Numb

759 views

as the sun rises,
like a zombie, Numbness
trapped in this dream
i watch life pass by;

i wandered alone,
fighting all that came in my way,
struggling to make sense of this
war, that does not seem to stop;

a shell of what i used to be,
i wear a mask to hide me from
the vultures that prowl all around,
wanting something to chew on;

no emotion,
no pain and,
no happiness,
just a haunted emptiness;

yelling and screaming,
hiding behind closed doors,
watching life pass by
with my empty eyes;

alone i sit,
in the grip of darkness,
as the arms of silence slowly engulf me,
a strange numbess takes over me;

I always followed praveen’s poem and I can emphatize with his sadness. AM just hoping that he can also see the other side of life. The hope and the joy.

This poem was really good one of the best. I could feel his pain and can also relate to myself. Thank you for sharing and hope you find hapiness in life.
