Numb
I wish I couldn't remember,
the things that I will never forget.
Every day I build another wall,
but the past isn't buried yet.
I am Zombie eyed,
I feel so sedated,
always lost and confused.
I have turned into what I once hated.
I am searching for reasons.
I struggle with paranoid illusions...
trying to fight the haunting memories,
although I will never come to a conclusion.
I keep slipping back into depression;
I don't know why life always turns out this way.
I search for the words
but I just don't know what to say.
Life has been riddles with brief encounters,
I am always so easily bored.
I fake imaginary happiness.
but I have nothing worth fighting for.
I can't get it together.
when it is all falling apart.
I have nothing to believe in.
I am broken right at the start.
I am always begging my mind for mercy,
I wish for the end.
Something deep and dark
I am tired of being sick again.
I drown in the nothingness,
I am so scared of the past.
I just wish this feeling would disappear.
The cycles always seem to last.
My mental issues control me.
I don't know the person I have become.
I rage within my soul.
My existence has gone numb.

Have we made our children numb?

Have they lost their sensitivity,

Nothing
Nothing to say
Nothing to do
Nothing to want
Nothing to view
Nothing to laugh
Nothing to cry
Nothing to whimper

I had to come to jail to escape the prison I created.
I'm not here to make friends, nor would I like to be

Heart lies on the surgeon's table,
A life who glows within death's stable
Here is Organ Hospital,
where doctors do the impossible
