I don't know why I feel this way, Perhaps my heart is stone or my soul is ice. A dark shroud covers my persona, Making me feel like an emotionless husk. I live, I breathe, but do I feel? Yes. But I no longer feel the warmth I once knew, I'm not worthy of it. Instead I feel cold, dark and anxious. Anxious as to why I feel this way. Anxious, wondering if everything will be ok. Anxious - in case I never return to normality. Normality... it's been so long I find the idea laughable. Although, in its truest definition, I suppose this is normality now. A dark and brutal normality. "Cheer up, life's not so bad!" Yes, but you don't live in my brain. You haven't walked a mile in these shoes.

I don't know why I feel this way, Perhaps my heart is stone or my soul is ice. A dark shroud covers my persona, Making me feel like an emotionless husk. I live, I breathe, but do I feel? Yes. But I no longer feel the warmth I once knew, I'm not worthy of it. Instead I feel cold, dark and anxious. Anxious as to why I feel this way. Anxious, wondering if everything will be ok. Anxious - in case I never return to normality. Normality... it's been so long I find the idea laughable. Although, in its truest definition, I suppose this is normality now. A dark and brutal normality. "Cheer up, life's not so bad!" Yes, but you don't live in my brain. You haven't walked a mile in these shoes.
