Numb what does that mean

Numb, what does that mean?
No words to say, feel no pain
Can't conjure a smile
Might be better to write a letter

Vacant look across my face
Nothing around me, just blank space
"Avril" cant even heal my wounds
I'm just living through multiple moods

To eat or drink is just a must
Iv pretty much given up
I thought I could go one more week
But my head and heart are so weak

No sleep making all this worse
Every night I write a verse
A verse to document what's really going on
A verse that would make a very sad song

Self harm is an option,  just one cut
To release the venom but then what?
It would lead down a very dark spiral 
One that I think I'll avoid for a while

All my words are filled in darkness
When will I be truly past this
I tell the truth to all that listen
But to avoid me seems their mission

I don't blame them look at me 
Even my mirror doesn't recognise me
I don't know who iv become
I'm all alone, I'm so numb

I write a poem everyday
To tell this story my way
Darkness or light The constant fight
Darkness seems to be the side that's right

It's 5pm another long night ahead
Would it be easier if I were dead?
I don't know anymore if I can stay 
I just need something to go my way

So here we go for another night of no sleep
Maybe I'll pretend I'm asleep
At least that way I might make it through
Because tommorow death will be my go too
