Rhona Mcferran Poet Free verse

That Unfeeling Feeling

Abyss of
emotions amiss
nebulous
floating numb
sensory deprivation
tank of a blank mind

Is this real?
I feel so surreal
foreign and
strange, too much
change- unfamiliar feelings
that send me reeling

Unfeeling
blindly reaching out
wandering
wondering
how to make it through without
knowing how I feel...

M. L. Kiser August 5, 2019 at 9:11 PM It is a bizarre feeling; I hate it, feel so lost in that grey area of life. Rhona Mcferran August 6, 2019 at 12:51 PM Exactly!! Thanks for understanding, my friend! ;)

Caren Krutsinger August 5, 2019 at 5:56 AM "tank of a blank mind" - this captured me and grabbed me, Soul Sister. I have been there! Rhona Mcferran August 6, 2019 at 12:51 PM Thanks, I knew you could relate! ;)

Michelle Faulkner August 3, 2019 at 5:19 PM Ah yes - that unsettled settling, that knowing unknown (I guess you inspired me) - Simply amazing, Rhona! Rhona Mcferran August 3, 2019 at 9:43 PM Thank you so much!! ;)

Richard Lamoureux August 3, 2019 at 9:40 AM Yes I have felt this way. I must say I prefer “That Lovin Feelin”. You expressed this well. When we are depressed the mind shuts down our emotions. Is kinda like becoming a zombie of sorts. Rhona Mcferran August 3, 2019 at 9:42 PM Thank you, my friend! Yes, it is a zombie-ish state of being... I'm always so relieved when things get back to 'normal' (...I use the term loosely)! ;)

Andrea Dietrich August 2, 2019 at 6:13 AM This is great stuff. So emotive. I really feel this way a lot. It's a long story. Anyway. U made some lovely comments to me lately. Thanx so much. Rhona Mcferran August 2, 2019 at 9:06 PM It's sort of nice to know I'm not alone in this... but I'm so sorry you have to go through it, too! *hugs* You're most welcome for the comments- they're well deserved! ;) (I only wish I had the time & energy to be here more often!!)

Frances Byrne August 2, 2019 at 5:51 AM Hi Rhona, Wow, that is brilliant. Frances Rhona Mcferran August 2, 2019 at 9:02 PM Aawww, thank you so much! ;)
