Numb

A person can't be tuned or programmed to be a certain way. So why is it I feel “a defective system” to this day? My mind; it flickers black and white I try and try to get things right When I look into your eyes I see a vast world of shadows sliding past one another Dissociation A solemn vibration radiating from outer layers of exposed insecurities Shame Amidst the chaos, I gaze into the inner essence; nothing but Inverted Hearts & Artificial presence Deceit It’s okay to Burst with Joy, Excitement, and creativity! …But depression shame and sadness are merely negativity… Suppression Numbing Expressions, Controlling Impressions What becomes of our essence? Socializing is an art of the mind. Can you withhold restraint and still be kind?
