Numbness Poems - Poems about Numbness

My blood, my comfort

She always hated the sight of blood
But now it had become her greatest comfort
She felt her blood was the only one who understood 
What it was like to be judged
Both hated on for their colour
Both wanting to be hidden
Both wanting to be invisible 

Each cut sent waves of euphoria throughout her body
She wasn't a masochist

When racism met suicide

Scars fade but trauma doesn't 
She wished it was the the other way round
At least then she wouldn't be haunted by the memories
Maybe the cuts wouldn't hurt as much 
Maybe she wouldn't have done it at all

Each tear was another cut
Each cut made her numb
She didn't want people to see her cry she thought Her

Just those kind of nights

Slept throughout the day,  
Feels like I’ve slept through my life.  
Wide awake I lay—  
It’s just that kind of night.

I've become a spectator of my own life,  
Not a wink, even though I’ve turned off the light.  
Switching postures, counting sheep,  
Tried every last bit—  
I guess

Numbness Butterfly Cinquain

           Leaving 
      behind silence,
   it’s absence over ice;
I crave impassioned dynamite;
             Settle? 
We only get to do life once,
 don’t tolerate numbness;
   

Feeling The Numbness

Feeling My Numbness taking a toll on me
Feeling My Numbness taking a toll on my 
My mind, body and soul,

Feeling My Numbness taking me afar from here
Feeling My  Numbness is scaring me within 

Feeling my numbness 
That no one sees
Feeling my numbness that lead my road
This way of confusion yet finding a solution 
Feeling

Numbness

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

'Chasing Little Joys'

Title; "Chasing Little Joys"

For quite some time now, I've become desensitized to my challenges 
to the reality of my existence. 
I've been holding on to any moments of joy that provide relief 
even if it's just for a few minutes in order to drown out the constant ache in my heart.

Sleep has become my way

A Disease

Can anyone die of sadness
Like a disease feasting on life from inside
I wish and wonder often
When will these blues come to the shore to drown me finally
Why am I a weightless cloud staying afloat still
Drastically heavy with rain of pain
Darkness is my sanctuary
where emptiness is my only friend
No matter, night or day
I am a prey
To

Lament To Life

You don't know
How deep I go
How low I spiral down
You cannot see
That part of me
That somehow needs to drown

You cannot hear 
My cry of fear
To face another day
You try to care
But I'm not there
I've somehow gone away

Inside my head
Already dead
Numbness my surround
I can't be reached
My mind is breached
Beneath me is no ground

But I can't seem

Conflicted

"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger" 
Quote by_ Constance La France 

I wish my smile could drown your thoughts of attempting to kill me. 
For my laugh to awaken your desires to pursue me, as opposed to seeking advice from past flames to put me out. 
I needed

Numbness

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

Poetry and Dance

Lyriktribute to Pina Bausch (Satis Shroff)

POETRY AND DANCE (Satis Shroff)

Her images were unusual,
Shocking to some.
Dancers
Jeering and tormenting
Other dancers.
Dancers
Throwing ripe tomatoes
At each other.
Instead of the bastinado,
Lighters held on the soles
Of other dancers.
Women were women
And men were men,
In Pina’s world.
No melange
Of oestrogens and testosterons,
No X and Y
Chromosomes.
Her women wore scarlet lips,
You were tormented with ballet:
Adagio, flips and

Soul Crushing Numbness

Horror things aren't scary anymore
Neither deformed faces nor the creepy lore

Doesn't startle me the way they used to
Doesn't make the stomach beg for a loo

I guess this is what numbness feels like
the ghost inside and out seems alike

The inner demons carry more suspense
When they come and give a nasty glance

Their babble makes impeccable sense
Does fake

State of Numbness

7/24/21

She ain't got a clue
And neither do
The rest of you

All this dumb s***
A continual ruckus
Spreading like a harmful fungus
Very little if any justice
Always in a state of numbness
Sometimes it all makes me sick to my stomach
While at the summit of a cliff
Feeling like I want to jump it
And plummet
Will suffer on or I'll be done

Anger and Numbness

Does numbness set on fire
Sparks fly from a speeding tyre 
Racing towards a funeral pyre
Cutting through snows crossfire
Ice can also start a wildfire
Crystal beads a mind occupier
Spilling over from eyes desire
High speed hitting tripwire.
