Numb

By Muriel Palanca



I sit on steps of stairs so cold

Everything is silent

The world's put on hold

I see not a star

Just an endless black sky

It slowly moves closer

But it passes me by

I feel no more sadness

I feel no more pain

I can't say I'm happy

It's hard to explain

no one will touch me

If they do I won't care

they can hug me or beat me

All i'll do is stare

I won't stop and embrace them

I won't fight to the end

I won't call them my enemy

I won't call them my friend

I can hear no more voices

Not a songs melody

I don't stop to think

There's nothing to see

I don't wish I could live

I dont wish I were dead

I'm somewhere between

There are no thoughts in my head

I don't see my future

I don't remember my past

I'm certainof nothing

I wont take a chance

I can't feel my body

My flesh is so numb

I'm drifting away

And yet I'm not done

I dont care anymore

For what others say

They can try to insult me

Any way which way

The bonds that have held me

Are letting me go

I'm free

And yet I'm the one saying no

My shell is so empty

It feels lighter than air

I'm missing my soul

It like I'm not even there

No one can find me

If I call they wont come

No one can come save me

Because I'm so numb
