it takes me captive, imprisoning me in shackles i can’t shrug off can’t feel my grief can’t taste my rage can’t grasp happiness can’t see anything except nothingness it swallows my feelings whole, absorbing my humanity absorbing my soul into something familiarly unrecognisable

numbness
it takes me captive, imprisoning me in shackles i can’t shrug off can’t feel my grief can’t taste my rage can’t grasp happiness can’t see anything except nothingness it swallows my feelings whole, absorbing my humanity absorbing my soul into something familiarly unrecognisable
