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

Numbing the Pain

Sad husband just buried wife.
     Clad in funeral glad rags;
     Seeks refuge in libations.
          Taxi called to bar

Secondary Numbing Number Two

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

Secondary Numbing Number One

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

Part Two of Secondary Numbing Number One

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

Numb Night

Mutual numbing
Ice cold tears that no one hears 
I can't keep strumming

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...

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 Pain

Feeling numb these days 
Or am i so blind 
Trying to read between hollow lines 
Feeling not myself anymore 
My mind tells my body its not so fine
Wish i could just dispel these emotions
Remove them and become just a shell
Maybe then il feel like im not in hell
Feeling rejected and neglected 
But its probably myselfs

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
