Plunging a blade Into my chest cavity To see if I would feel When my ribs Fail to protect my heart Letting go of the wheel On the winding road To see if it I would feel The glass Splitting into millions of pieces As my skin synchronized With it And did the same Punching the wall With my anxious fist To see if I would feel The moment of impact As all five proximal phalanges Burst away from my metacarpals Crying hysterically At the extremes I would go through Just to know if any of it is even real To know fear To know pain To know sorrow To know any sort of emotion at all And most of all To know if I am faking all of it Feeling forever lost Confused Mistaken? Lost. Definitely lost. Lost in this unfortunate existence Constantly questioning if I feel What I feel And never gathering any useful information Always just more questions Filled with wonder But never with the emotion Letting me know how I feel about any of it. Just empty.

The Unfortunate Life of an Uncertain Sociopath
Plunging a blade Into my chest cavity To see if I would feel When my ribs Fail to protect my heart Letting go of the wheel On the winding road To see if it I would feel The glass Splitting into millions of pieces As my skin synchronized With it And did the same Punching the wall With my anxious fist To see if I would feel The moment of impact As all five proximal phalanges Burst away from my metacarpals Crying hysterically At the extremes I would go through Just to know if any of it is even real To know fear To know pain To know sorrow To know any sort of emotion at all And most of all To know if I am faking all of it Feeling forever lost Confused Mistaken? Lost. Definitely lost. Lost in this unfortunate existence Constantly questioning if I feel What I feel And never gathering any useful information Always just more questions Filled with wonder But never with the emotion Letting me know how I feel about any of it. Just empty.
