Emotional Numbness

This emptiness that I’m feeling 
Its spreading to my veins
Somthings holding me back 
Its like Im in a straight jacket 
Cant breath, cant see
I need to break away
I need to break free
My hearts getting heavy 
All my uncryed tears
Seem to be stuck in my heart
I can feel the blood
Dripping in my veins
It hurts with every breath
Sadness, despair
Filling my lungs
The sky falling down 
My world collapsing
My legs cemented to the floor
My hair flying in the air 
My shadow disappearing slowly 
Everythings getting dark 
Scary shapes near and far
There is an utter silence 
No light no sound 
Everythings gone 
All that remains now is a smile 
its slowly going
now jsut a residue
A residue of my smile
