shadow of intent

ill never get used to
the numbness that tinges away at everything 
every movement
a rusted nusiance 
as if the words that make up my reality are too much to bear
there are no creaks
or technical things to tweak
because i am still
unfortunately, a biomechanical thing
instead there are aches
pains
issues that, like the rain
always streaming down my face
struggles to catch the hint and go away 
despite my attempted ignorance though
do you think my erosion shows?
