Missing

When you dig deep down into your heart what is it that you find?
Do you feel who you are?
When I search mine I don’t find feelings of any kind
Are they just dormant?
Or am I just blind?
Have they been extinguished forever?
Have they been taken prisoner by these chains that bind?
Hopefully they will come back someday soon so I can feel again
I need them to help push out the thunderstorm that dominates my mind
