limbic friction

Why am i waiting To feel something Like when I was young Thoughts and memories Accumulate inside my head But still my heart is numb I feel anguish And sometimes I might feel some pride But it's only surface deep I watch my actions As though I'm watching someone else Making mistakes on repeat Every day I'm going through the motions It's all work and it's no play And when I find the time To catch up with my old friends I've got nothing to say. Neural pathways Digging grooves inside my brain Habits getting more entrenched. Mounting addictions. I must resist this limbic friction but I just don't have the strength. When did my horizons become so narrow? Ambitions have slipped out of sight The future is empty Just body clinging onto soul Going gentle into night.
