Numb

I use to cry when i had a lot of pain. Now its nothing, it all seems the same. It's like i cant feel, i dont have the sense too. Like the beating of a heart, you can feel it. Something that completes you. Sometimes when you cant feel it, others can. With pain, and tears. I know they are there, like a razor blade cutting deep inside, not escaping from anywhere. I'm completley numb from the inside out. I cant cry tears, they no longer exist.

You are capable of expressing deep emotion, Elizabeth. The numbness you describe is a feeling shared almost universally. Well done! Carolyn

Very strong emotions , You have bared out your soul here.I know how it feels to be hurt so many times and to be all cried out, turning my tears into anger..It is not good to keep all that bottled up inside, that is why I began writing.. It was a release for me. This is a heart breaker here. Best wishes to you, God Bless*Tyesha

This is intense, I can feel pain it expresses. I've been there and it's not a good feeling. A very good write Elizabeth
