Nothing

I feel numb
A nothingness I can’t explain 
A feeling when you don’t feel at all
I don’t know why this happens
I don’t understand why it won’t go away 
I’m scared of when it’s here
I’m scared of when it goes
I’m scared of feelings
I’m scared of feeling human 
I’m scared of not feeling 
I'm so torn between these worlds of which to feel or not to feel
I don’t have a choice though 
My emotions rule my world
Even if they’re not there
Nothingness can drive a person to do things though
Sometimes these things are scarier than the times you can feel
I feel numb 
I feel nothing
I don’t know why
But can you tell my friends I said goodbye?

Eve: As I read your words, I thought, this young lady is among friends here. There probably isn't a greater group of misunderstood and oft rejected individuals than among poets. :o) Just stick around and get acquainted. I believe you'll find support here on the soup. Keep writing. oldbuck

I also wanted to say that I've only been with PoetrySoup for 6 months and it didn't take me long to realize that sometimes I preferred the PS world to the outside world where people don't connect on the same level if you know what I mean. Well so long, I will read your other poems now. Line xx
