Numb

I wonder if I’m an empath.

I wonder if I’ve ascended.

I feel like wandering into a wall. 

I wish my random mumblings-

Would translate to the screams that they are. 

I am numb to my family’s calls. 

Every time she says goodbye and goodnight…

I hope she is having a good night without me.
