My heart is becoming numb
As my mind runs in circles
Attempting to escape truth
Life has taken me to the edge
Facing me with every choice
Of which builds my character
Like a mirror I see myself
But I do not fathom anything
I only question every bit
As I ponder where I stand
I find I am not naked here
My bare skin is embalmed
While my thoughts thrive
Like mold in the summer
As they bite like winter cold
Who is this, I’ve become?
How have I arrived here?
And where am I to go?
I long to feel alive again
Wishing I could feel you
As that time by the lake
He’s done something
You have changed me
My flesh cannot understand
With this I become a puzzle
And the vital piece is lost
I am broken like the dead
I’m trying to discover humans
But I cannot complete the task
For I am resting in the silence
That I have embraced
Through the pain I’ve claimed
By the possibilities I denied
