Numb

Do they see how I feel?
Hate is all I see in their eyes.
My body has no feeling at all. 
Numb.

I can’t feel the pain that
They are intending for me.
It just gets worse.
Can I have a normal life?
Is that too much to ask?
I’m afraid my body 
Can’t take anymore.
It has no place for all my 
Scars.

I can’t wait for the 
Afterworld.
Where I can be myself
And drown in my
Misery.

When will they see that this 
Hurts?
That this is too much
For one body to take?
When will they let me 
Go?

When will I finally 
Die?
