Broken Feeling

My feelings are broken, I'm not sure that they work. I try to act normal, so I shrug and I smirk No emotions come out like the other kids do Its a kind of numbness that I'm going through. They tell me that I'm special and other nice things They don't get the attention that, "not feeling" brings. Telling people what's inside, is harder than it looks Reaching out for answers from the internet and books So here is what I've learned, and how I started feeling Admitting help is needed, is like reaching for the ceiling I found someone to talk to, who listened and understood They help me look for happiness, and show it, when I could Embarrassing turned to embracing, of just "Who I am." I am a "work in progress", but I now know that I can! I can talk to other people, start to be more proud of me I don't need the reassurance, of what these other people see.
