Emotionally numb.
Sitting here in the emptiness,
My mind in a void of emptiness,
As I try to make sense of it all,
But all I feel is a lonely fall.
My broken heart just thumps along,
As I try to find where I belong,
But the emptiness consumes me whole,
Leaving me with a hollow soul.
I try to pour out all my pain,
But my words seem to be in vain,
For in this emptiness there's no one around,
No caring, no feel, no sound.
My thoughts and emotions are in a blur,
As I search for a glimmer of hope to occur,
But all I find are empty echoes,
In this void of emptiness that seems to grow.
I want to break free, to feel alive,
But in this emptiness, I struggle to survive,
My numbness moves along,
As I try to find where I belong.
So I sit here in the emptiness,
Lost in my own thoughts of emptiness,
Hoping one day, this void will disappear,
And I'll emerge from the emptiness, clear.
Inspired by the feeling empty inside.

P h a n t o m step
dried clay tracks
Stage lights
arching as a bridge
S e q u i n s
indifferent
Dance steps
sawdust in the shoes
G l a z e d eyes
scans razor sharp
The sound of the blacksmith's anvil
kills the piggy bank
S e a g u l l scream
opens up to fear
C l a m digging
in gravel and sand bottoms
One white shirt
flutters in the wind
T r a c k i n g the deer
knee high boots
Don't run away
tax to pay
A quiet retreat
soul's goal
Thoughts and e m o t i o n s
internal growing stalk
S i l e n c e speaks in volume
still roaring
the tempest

I like seeing myself
smile
Happiness was new
I
Only felt it for a moment
Fleeting feelings deep inside
Emotionally numb
As
I ran away to a dark place where I would hide...
Then
I was alone
And
I would cry
Feeling pain
Waiting to die ....
My emotions were deep
I had fear
Mostly when I would lay down to sleep
My dreams would scare me
But
I didn't tell
Another about that place called hell ...
Because
After all it was but a dream.
One day I'll wake
Not
Wanting to scream.

Try not to trust my words;
they're lies that I manufacture to
project an ideal life and
persuade you I'm OK.
Try not to believe my words
For I was once enslaved into
Drinking and drugs.
Furthermore, the isolation
I received from my fellow
Teaching staffs, the excommunication
Stigmatization was the order of the day.
Try not to believe the grin you see;
it's a veneer to hide
burning agony, intense disgrace,
sheer despair.
Its the scars i got from the depression
I suffered.
Try not to get tricked by my chuckling;
it is just a reverberation
of empty internal parts, longing
for faculties to return.
Try not to get persuaded by my lucidity and request;
borne in endeavor to
control the disarray
furthermore conciliate the situation unfolding inside.
Try not to be dazed by
The flawlessness I radiate,
The boldness I counterfeit,
The honesty I fake,
The certainty I wear
For I'm broken into pieces

i am listening to this song
there will never be another you
tears roll down my face slowly
i remember the look on her face
i recall the eerie quiet
i will never forget wishing that she could have died peacefully and painlessly
i am listening to to this song
there will never be another you
the rain begins to fall
the wind begins to cry
the sky cannot contain her dark emotions
things will never be the same in this frigid world of monotony
i am listening to this song
there will never be another you
a trip sounds so good right now
reality and the situation within is speaking way louder
instead, i decide to go and park someplace quiet and undisturbed
this is the only place i feel like being a seeker of today

Emotionally abstract;
A rush of beautiful tears
leave behind discolored eyes;
All the passion fading
into the painting of her smile;
Chipping with every slow drop
puddles form chaotic shapes
casually described as art;
They see a masterpiece
in the splatter of geometry,
overlooking her face so
emotionally distraught;
Worshipping the body of work
she left behind;
Reconstructed over time
whispers of the past like art so abstract;
Painting the star crossed eyes of future artists
who embellish the magic of folklore.

He loved,but could not say
such words,he could not find;
He loved,but could not touch
such warmth,was just too much;
He was proud,but could not praise
such sounds he could not raise;
He supported,but not with words
such feelings,witheld unheard;
Sentiment,tight reined within
banished,unvoiced by him,
embittered by his own hurt,
a scarred child 'neath his hairshirt.
In the past,his crippled emotions lay
imprisoned,unsaid,'til his dying day.

Dont want to pour my heart out on this sheet
The only thing you seem to want from me
Is between my legs thighs and cheeks
Lips mouth and esophagus
And to you thats all I am worth
Why shed tears for one that doesnt have the slightest emotion to gather or muster up a or a care
I Hate the fact that I love you
I Hate how affectionate I am towards you
I Hate that you neglect my emotions
Set aside my feelings and remain in the state of oblivion to what it means to actually be there for me
Abuse my vulnerabilities
Cast aside my insecurities
Laugh at my tears
My Heart I still give and you act as if its not even there
I prayed to God tonight to please erase the feelings I have for you
Truly and Sincerely, I hope he does that for me
I Appreciate all of his blessings
Dont want to ask for too much
But this one...I really need

What kind of mess I am?
Disintegrated misappropriated bludgeoned;
Love and peace is coming;
Deep inside the heart,
it is dark;
There is a light,
that flickers on bright;
As the dawn purple blue and red royalty fit as it bleeds slight;
Sadden been hit, struck over, over, over again

Emotionally,
a wordsmith, caregiver, plant tender, embroiderer;
enjoy studying esoteric astrology, being in nature and dancing,
daydream of owning land, living remotely, publishing.
Sadness lives in me over global greed, power thirst, cruelty,
I fear Burger King's king, public speaking, being alone when old;
wish I could promote self-love, peace and forgiveness for all,
resident of the human condition as God's child.

Emotionally blackmailed
Though corporate man I am
Last night I watched a social movie
I wept with them, wiped the tears secretly
this morning I remember
that was just an acting,
where the tears part of film
actors and actresses use glycerin

He said to me
I see her
She see me
I look into her eyes
Love emotionally
She said,don't even want to see you
I knew that wasn't true
Knew that was a lie
I just couldn't say goodbye
I love her
she love me
Love emotionally
Before she walked out the door
I took her hand
I'm just not ready to let her go
Then she let me know the truth
She say, "don't really want to leave you"
I said, then don't
I'll never leave you. I promise I wont
We can work this out
Please stay with me
Love emotionally

EMOTIONALLY STAGNATE---
" a came inside me, he preformed"
" his ever-presents light in me emotions scorned"

"highlights dropping temperate"
"screams of versions of concentrate, emotionally stagnate"
