Numb
I was asked how I was feeling today
I was weirded out and I didn't know what to say
Maybe it’s that I don’t know feelings
Or maybe because my answer isn’t appealing
Or because no one would understand
It’s like I should have an automatic answer planned
After some self-contemplation
There really is no explanation
I feel nothing at all
I’m not depressed, I can't remember the last time I cried, let alone bawled
I’m not happy
I don’t know what I am, it’s even weird to be snappy
But if I say I’m numb
I look extremely dumb
People start judging
Then if I say I’m ok, they’ll know I’m bluffing
But what else can you do
Then say I’m good instead of the truth
