Numb

Running away from everything I know Fearing all I ever knew Black acid tears burn scars on my face I should've never let you get close to me Never let you get to know me I'm a little too dangerous A little too smart Too fast Too strong Too dangerous Faster and faster through the forest The blood splashed trees give up their dead The spirits are my guardians now You don't need to worry Approaching the cliff, I see it's manipulative smile The ground turns to ice under my feet as I slip and fall The jagged earth digs into my flesh Soaking it's surface with crimson gore My eyes burn black as I fall off the edge My acid tears dig deeper as my mangled corpse falls off the edge A cascade of blood as my background The water below is white, pure But i'm not The cascade hits before I do, injecting it's deathly toxen It shouldn't be possible that I'm still alive Drowning in poison Bleeding eternally Acid for tears I see you at the edge of the cliff A single tear falls from your face Comfort felt, only briefly As your tear turns to fire And engulfes me And all I am Is numb

Jenni, that numbness will go away as your life moves forward. Speaking on behalf of many poets, we've been there and we've survived. I pray the darkness has lifted and you have found joy again. Carolyn
