Numb

Suddenly,

I’ve lost de capability to feel,

the joy, the pain, anything at all.

Like a covered shell, anything goes,

no questions asked, everywhere but

back, anytime but the past.

I’m not tired; I’m not full,

I’m not sad; I’m not alone,

I’m not happy, I don’t feel.

Am I asleep?

I’m still breathing, I still see,

that’s a sign that I’m still me.

I’m still thinking, I can bleed,

so I must be alive for real.
