Numbing Poems - Poems about Numbing


High-Minded
Smoking toking you must be joking it's a bust I just don't need an altered sense of time and space or on choking a mind-numbing feeling of euphoria as I am happy as a clam (thank you ma'am) for as you two while under the influence of lethargy-inducing external stimuli proceeded in search of smokeable weed a.k.a., a whole lot of pot a joint venture...

I gave my all to thee then fell to my knees feeling robbed. I was given Risperdal that released me of rage against my foolish ways floating on cloud nine that held my self-centered ways at bay. I had to have thee loving little old me as if tulips held the power and smell of love. I was not alone; and clamored to your kindness yes, the number...

Had I delved deep into The Word I would have heard, It wasn't from beyond the cloud My first winnings were as large as the devil's lure I wrote the slips; swiped my Visa sure as true grit Now I know for sure, God was not in it. I've been playing numbers that Played against the enemy that was me Winnings coming...

Freedom flew in like a whistle blower I saw freedom in numbers by the score I am vigilant twenty four seven Forgive as much as you're forgiven Good stewards don't play the numbers game Time paused and watched me play and lost again I saw numbers everywhere I looked Everything electronics had me hooked I saw numbers high and low as I drove Aged...

The Mind-Numbing Monotony
The green walls Dulled with age. Food, paint, and dirt Completely ingrained It’s been so long. These rooms and the hall Why go upstairs? I’ve seen it all. Go out the front door. The air fresh and clean Nothing here though Is a sight unseen. 2 decades of this 20 years passed A wall-less prison The worst kind of trapped Impossible wishes What to do? Where to go? I’m less...

The Numbing Effect
The numbing effect .. Effects in every way.. At sunrise... Until sunset.. It is loyal .. It is dependable It is reliable.. It is resilient As it is persistent.. It almost has a mind of it's own.. It is quite an entity in itself.. It had entered into me.. An uninvited guest it was.. Numbness was over the moon.. Extremely elated.. With taking charge of my life.. Prevented me from life... An...

A Dash of Mind-Numbing Fear
We went swimming in our clothes. Took off only our socks And jumped into the deep end. Yesterday, I laughted so hard I started sobbing. Do you know how frustrating it is To bury yourself in a blanket, Nearly choke yourself on the fabric, And still be unable to stop laughing? Irma doesn't make me angry anymore, Not really, But thinking about that weekend Still gives...

Numbing
There's never a dull moment in yesterday's shadow when the memory shines brighter than the light in your eyes, lives longer than I imagined our relationship would, & fights ten times harder to survive when every fiber in my feeling wants it gone, because your gone. So why does it stay. Why do I dream...

The Numbing Process
And I sit there and it hurts. I cry and mourn for what I've lost. Sitting in the bath tub at night I feel lost and the hot Scolding water no longer bothers me Though it has left burns and Scars upon my skin which lie So deep that the truth be held Within them; Scars that you'll Never know or...
