Numb


Are
You numb
Yet?


Feelings,
Bitter,
Raw,
Painful,


Hide them,
Can\'t show
Them


To
The world,


Weakness,
All it
Ever was.


These feelings,
Weak to
Feel.


Numb,
Indifferent,
Uncaring,


The hole,
Its wide
Its deep,


So steep,
So dark,


Stopped trying
To climb


So long,
Long ago.


Fire licks
And rain falls,


Shards fly
Around you,


Dark,
Uncaring,


A hollow
Laugh,


Eyes turn
Black


You die.


Are
You numb
Yet?


Feelings,
Bitter,
Raw,
Painful,


Have they
Gone yet?


Or do you
Feel them
Still?


Its weakness,
Weakness,


To feel.


We all
Are turned
Numb,


Are we?


Identities
Mixed,


In
The rain,


Life,
Love
Lost


In the
Pain.

it's basically about being numb and indifferent to the world, to everyone, including your own self and your feelings.

Wow, I don't actually have a scroll on my mouse, so I had to literally drag it down the pad to continue reading. It really emphasized the helpless falling. Just loved it.
