Awaking in shackles

awake from darkness,
in chains,he feels the cold grip-
numbness fades to pain.

" numbness fades to pain" that line speaks volumes! A very deep and dark poem that many would feel so deeply! Very well written in few syllables!

I really like this. But also pain may fade to numbness.
