Best Numbness Poems

When tragedy strikes,
what happens to you?

Do you roll yourself up in
bubble wrap,
box yourself in
and pray that no one finds you?

or do you b-R-e-A-K
into a million pieces
and let others pick you up?


Reality feels like cork,
I push, will it to go and
stay     ...

Numbness will over come us.
In the end pain will win.
The scorching desire of death
will always take your breath.
Colorless bare skin
with marks and scars
that hide inside.
We all just want to die.
Lies we are told to obey
or slaps against my face.
Belts an burns as you take turns.
Numbness...

This emptiness that I’m feeling 
Its spreading to my veins
Somthings holding me back 
Its like Im in a straight jacket 
Cant breath, cant see
I need to break away
I need to break free
My hearts getting heavy 
All my uncryed tears
Seem to be stuck in my heart
I...

Her screaming 
Yet somehow i managed to see her death in my mind
Just to be reunited with him
I curled and rolled in bed
Missing and wishing
Crying and regretting
Stupid girl, some girls never learn
Repeating same mistakes over and over
Yet i lay there motionless
Unable to hear the beat...

It so cold outside, Its raining hard
The clouds are dark and grim
But no more grim than the darkness
Of the pain I feel within..

The darkness it engulfs me
It wraps around my soul
I can only wish for numbness
For this pain I cant control

Shall I write until...

If  we have our heads
Sleeping on our arms
A tingling numbness
Spreads through our hand

Its uncomfortable 
We shake our hand
Till the feelings gone
Then we return to sleep...

Never, my love
Use your
Misery
Blindly;
Neglecting
Everyone
Sours your very
Soul...

Let me feel again, 
The reason for my lonesome: 
Cowardly harlot....

The sound of animosity 
wakes you up.
There was a shadow war.

The ethnic otherness,
when you were ditching 
the sermons, the adjectives.

Will you accept the 
atrocity of nouns who keep 
on inviting the fat spiders ?

The vision has failed. 
I don’t find any cue
to the nests of...

Now I am an Uncle,

Never been one before.

Newborns are always grand,

Nonetheless, I have a 

Niece, Macy is her birth

Name, how could she be a

Nuisance? She looks like me!

I’m heartless. 
I don’t know where my heart is.

Hateful, 
I’m looking for my happiness.

But I can’t move, 
I’m footless. 
Grounded feeling low 
like the ground is.

I’m guideless. 
and I’m eyeless,
but I can see the pain that’s within this.

So I’m paralyzed and blinded.

You can’t see the...

"Bleeding into Numbness"

There I go again...FEELING.
I promised I'd never do that again.
              Stupid girl.
I need to stop.
How can I stop this?
I need to be numb.
I won't let this happen again.
I won't let...

Racing through the grassland
thorns cutting my soles
while the icy wind pinches
this flesh.
And yet I  still persist--
wondering if my heart holds
the key back to spontaneity ?
My lust for life  is  withering
among the black of  time's cinders
a burning in the distance
unkown to me
as...

DRY MASCARA

Nobody sees through the shadow and the color of my eyes
The times I've cried are the only time you notice the trace down my face
This time,  
The sorrow at heart is deeper than anything I've ever penned or spoken of,
  an atmosphere...

Unclear and unfocused thoughts,
Trapped in negative emotions.
I can't seem to chase away the bad thoughts.
All I can do is sit around.

I'm waiting for someone,
But I can't remember who.
I'm waiting so long...
I'm waiting for someone.

My fingers tremble from anxiety.
I can no longer feel my feet.
My very...
