Apathy’s paralyzation,
Iridescent indignation,
Steely eyed, grim concentration,
Ebullient, effuse elation,
Scheming klepto pilferation,
And dysphoric ideation
Drugs for every situation
Prescription proliferation
Pharmacological nation
Where’s my pills? Where in tarnation?
My body is in such a knot, My legs feel paralyzed.
I'm stuck here with this feeling of Numbness,
feeling like a poorly wired circuit
Your eyes make me feel secure
and when you hold me ,it feels like I'm home
Funny how a person can bring such
comfort
This intimacy my love,is it real?
Do we both feel this intense connection
My mom never warned me of the dangers
of falling in love.How it leaves you so
heedless and numb.
As I feel the hot tears streaming
down my face
I feel my body tensing up
after hearing you say "I love you "
with such an impassive tone
But no matter how deadly this routine
is,i'll always be stuck.
Hanging on to this feeling I believe is love
But is this really love?How you treat me?
This "love" you seem to give me
As if touching my body was the immediate key to forgiveness
The thought of this puts me in raging frustration
I start pulling my hair
and picking my skin
You ask me what's wrong
and in my head I say "it's you"
But I sit there in silence
I then start suffocating on your sweet words
And again back in the same place
with the same feeling of paralyzation
