Emotionally Numb'
I like seeing myself
smile
Happiness was new
I
Only felt it for a moment
Fleeting feelings deep inside
Emotionally numb
As
I ran away to a dark place where I would hide...
Then
I was alone
And
I would cry
Feeling pain
Waiting to die ....
My emotions were deep
I had fear
Mostly when I would lay down to sleep
My dreams would scare me
But
I didn't tell
Another about that place called hell ...
Because
After all it was but a dream.
One day I'll wake
Not
Wanting to scream.
