Numb Poems - Poems about Numb

The psyche was burned and left us numb, floating like a boat without oars on an endless river, the world was darker than the pitch-black of a closet full of hungry bats, and the whiskey and wine seeped deep into our weary veins, when the blood was too weak to carry the burden of our lost dreams, we surrendered...

I always feel a twinge of anger, a truck load of guilt, and a dash of sorrow whenever I think of her But mostly nothing at all My guess is all those year of cuts to the bone ingrown toenails and broken bones weren't quite stitched up, fixed up and set - right She used to hit a racquetball against those grungy, white walls until she felt like...

It's not sadness that haunts me. Sadness has shape. Sadness has weight. Sadness weeps and wails and rips the air apart- It moves. Sadness is a storm. You can feel it crash through your chest, Leave splinters in your lungs. But you survive it. You know it's there. Numbness? Numbness is the quiet aftermath- When the wind has...

I dived into the cauldron of magic potion and transformed into the person who I was.ME ! The Me that was missing pieces that felt so deeply about things. The Me that had that innocence of a child ,who looked at everything in life with amazement and marveled at the wonders of life. The Me who lived with...

Seasonal flows are flowing in sequence to a seasonal warmth A satellite hoovers like a distant cloud in an atmosphere which is neither might not support or which has not been seen in many days microbial species within the salty brines of Jezero's Crater talks of yesterdays the only planet in the solar system to be inhabited by robots facting and gathering while scientist do there part Parts per million the itchy...

Trapped in this dark place High walls give no escape Gasping for air I'm dying to catch my breath Fighting my way through this labyrinth And run to the arms of someone who cares My eyes blurry My legs numb My body's weak Losing my voice Can’t hardly speak Getting breathless Struggling to stay alive Crying out! For help So someone could hear me I think It's too late My life's...

Broken dreams have such an appeal Bury me deep ‘til I can’t feel. Soon the sun, it will cease to shine But by then, I'll have said my goodbyes. Broken hearts are over-rated You cry tears while I cry blood. You’ll do your hair you’ll do your makeup You’ll move on you’ll get over them...

She stares into nothing, Like when she looks in the mirror. Not recognising what she’s seeing, She used to see things clearer. The clearness became distorted, It became everything she feared. And all that fear had left her haunted, Wondering if it’ll ever disappear. She wished the pain away because she didn’t feel she deserved it, But now she feels emotionless,...

People ask, people pry, People come, people try. Yet the sadness hidden inside remains unspoken, behind the masks, their silence faithfully unbroken. Conversations masked with laughter, Concerns diverted, dispersed soon after. Is it a mask? Is it real? No one (not even themselves) knows what they conceal. Yesterday the sun...

I'm promised to your finger tips The ones that run through my hair and run across my skin When there's space between that skin and the cloth that hangs off me My shirts aren't tucked into my pants you can enter and exit as you please Your fingerprints left over the seats of our parents cars People we forget...

On the day that my family died, They didn't give me a chance to dry. I WAS 12 They told me that I was now on their side, That I no longer had to hide. I WAS ALONE There were other boys the same as me, They hit us and forced us not to be me but we. I WAS SCARED They gave me...

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...

I was asked how I was feeling today I was weirded out and I didn't know what to say Maybe it’s that I don’t know feelings Or maybe because my answer isn’t appealing Or because no one would understand It’s like I should have an automatic answer planned After some self-contemplation There really is no explanation I feel nothing at all I’m not depressed,...
