Numb

I wake up everyday with the desire for it to stop 
I want it all to stop
I want time to stop
I’m terrified of dying 
But I want it to stop
Life keeps slipping through my fingers 
Emotions keep switching around like poker cards 
Numbness comes later to haunt like when a child gets nightmares 
I feel everything 
Yet I feel nothing

Yes, a life sans love is sad. Find something you care about more than yourself. It is the surest way to put a smile back on your lips and make you want to see the sun shine again! Aloha! Rico
