#numbed
The button glares it's hideous grin beckoning me to give it one good push Start Over is plastered over it's red polish Why is the button always red? I question I am numbed my core rotten as I stick in my hands in to see if my heart still beats Everything fades and my senses feel as though it is just an anesthetic I try to see but all I know is this dream within my nightmare The button grows further and further away Will I be able to reach it in time? I don't know...

Why Can't We?
I urinate on your weak wording, not out of disrespect but I find that this is all the apologise that they need. Can I give your thoughts merit on mere wording, No.... they brain damage me, to a Neanderthal grasping of should I touch fire. I try to inhibit my attention but I wrap my mind around a lamp post and my thoughts bleed swiftly out on the road till they die.. They are like full beam on a dark road leading to the eventuality of my mind blinded thinking how could this have been shone before eyes. I urinated on your word just to put the fire out that was burning on the page, charcoal words were washed quickly from my now numbed mind.

I urinated on your words
Far too many are blinded by what they see, deafened by what they hear, pascified by what they do, valued by what they have, and numbed by what they feel. Dare to venture yet deeper within thy own being. Do not surrender so lightly to spiritual atrophy for thy Godself shall suffice! Thy Well is not to be so shallow even in the worst known droughts of the Soul.

Spiritual Atrophy
The past hurts like an ocean made up of opaque glass. And you asked me to exist within the shatter-jagged fragments. An amphibious creature, Breathing the pain through shredded gills. Numbed, bruised and bleeding. Wounds are what they called them. Battle torn from a thousand different edges. Don't you feel them?   The watery shards wedging into your sides,   Piercing your lungs of the will to exhale. I feel it, like rough hands upon my neck;   Tearing through my flesh.     Slipping down my throat. Till I'm choking on red. You asked, and I confessed. My passions, the black and the blue. Inhaling the wine-water, I want to save you. Even with an ocean of glass standing in my way. I want to save you. Swimming and swimming, until this agony bled away. I wanted to save you. Even though I knew I couldn't. I wanted to be the one to save you.

Opaque Glass.
please don't fall in public don't let them see tears are just a reminder of the pain inside of me I never had a friend who saw when my tears rained down I never had a friend, who cared if I was around I used to try and hold them in, late nights where spent pondering if death was the way it seemed I was drunk off my pain, and my tears helped numb that it seems to me that tears are just another way of numbing myself.

Tears
I'm sure I heard it Did you ? The snap or was it a clap Can't tell it's been too distorted and echoed around my empty soul Or rather this husk of what I used to feel: the love the triumph the passion the validation . Now I'm sure I heard it or was it you clicking and praising my words yeah maybe that's what I heard no I can feel the sinking this hole in my chest I can't listen to my heart it's voice has be laid to rest six feet is quiet a feat. There it is again no that was just a ding for an idea or a notion pleading to me to take action but this is a fallacy, a distraction I'm ignoring the signs to busy thinking what is mine rather then keeping what was mine now I'm left with nothing ahh There it is, that distinctive ring listen... The timbre is right I can hear the angels sing. this cold unloving content or is it fury I can't know surely but this time, this time.. I heard the snap of my mind It sounded like click . clack . bang
