uncomfortably numb

Uncomfortably Numb

One hundred words I've written
One thousand sounds I've uttered
One million answers to but
one billion questions I"ve asked...
Many many years have passed, and I still feel the same
alone, abandoned, afraid, baffled
by one hundred thousand memories-
But I am in a better place now
I don't have to reminiss, but I do - often
Remembering all but the pleasant days...
My altered states of mind transcend all that is lovely or good
into sorrow and regret.
This world doesn't have an "outlook" to me
it's just a blurr-
everything- life- love- joy- pain-
all my life I had looked and looked.
But I've stopped looking,
because now I'm seeing-
seeing every guilt-tainted memory, every painful consequence,
every dishonorable mistake, every bitter-sweet end.
It's nothing-
or it's something I no longer value.
Mentally, physically, spiritually, emotionally-
I've been robbed, and stripped bare
then sent out to find shelter,
somewhere... anywhere... out there...
Yet I carry on and on and on
I continue my struggle,
I may find validation in things I shouldn't -
like comparisons and dysfunction
but I am not affected at all..
I am completely numb.
The pain doesn't hurt anymore,
The disappointment doesn't matter anymore,
The confusion doesn't even confuse anymore.
I am as hard as steal,
and I am thankful,
I'm thankful for
everything I am NOT

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
