what would it be like
to feel nothing at all?
numb
empty
or, i suppose, just a lack of feeling altogether
it could be like saying goodbye to someone you love
for a very final time
but before processing
realising
and accepting
that they’re really gone
in some cases
it feels like a temporary
and much needed
relief
from the straining stresses of our growing
corrupted world
a compression from common, trivial, tiring responsibility
that feels like thousands of massive
heavy
weights
just sitting on your shoulders
waiting for you to give into the pressures of our incorrigible society
just waiting for you to crumble
and
collapse
into nothing
while you
sitting there
like a useless pile of rubble
are numb
a sensation i now dread
knowing what it feels like
