Numb

Like a moth to a flame

Again and again

Incoming thoughts

I'm crosses and noughts

Feelings emotions and other such things

Flying around, the emptiness rings

Screaming at me, telling me to feel

Though none of it really, ever seems real

I want it to stop but I can only hit pause

In a black hole of nothing and trapped in it's jaws

Pulling me down when I want to soar

Keeping me trapped on the floor

Neglegted by all and treated by none

The ego, my feelings and more are all gone

And I'm left in the dark with nothing to say

But I need to get up, need to start the day
