Numb!

I cannot feel my hands I cannot feel my toes, I'm sick of living life with only cons and 
no pros. The people that I cared for left me in the dust, I long to get away from this 
world I will never trust. I cannot feel my face, I cannot feel my chest, why don't I 
just die and never feel the rest. My body is so numb I can't take it anymore, my body is 
so numb I don't feel my feet touch the floor. Will the angel of death sing? I wonder 
what death will bring! For soon I hope to be laying in my death bed, numb not able to 
feel my own head. I'm tired of my body so numb, the purpose of life so dumb! Holding on 
impossible giving up feels so right, when death is all you think about why should you 
try and fight? People say I'm so dumb, well maybe I'll change my mind when my body is no 
longer numb!
