Numb

I wrote this long ago. Maybe I had a reason I don't remember now, or may have have chosen to forget. Hope you understand. ;)


NumB

Whispering winds create a cacophony,
Trembling in awe I succumb.
The world around me seems alienated;
I run away from shadows into the devious dark.

What is it I’ve become?
A fiend lurking in the shadows?
The very existence seems to be crashing down.
Meandering roads, I tread;
Those that at every curve ignite the fear of the unknown.

They say the world has cruel eyes.
And they look at me sceptically.

But it is the bare, unquestionable truth!
The sanctity has left me and the sanity is illusive.
Feelings which I once harboured have deserted the shores of my heart.
Lost and delirious, I wander through this labyrinth.

The gravest of pains barely brush my soul,
The acme of happiness refuses to kindle a spark.
It seems aeons have passed since an insignificant wave of a human emotion,
Touched the unadorned sands of my slumbering soul.

A melancholic feeling looms all around,
I gape at nothingness; it loyally reciprocates.
Days hustle their way out; nights stretch, delaying the morn.
With eyes wide open and consciousness sound asleep,
Have I become, what they call, Numb?
