Numbed

 

Numbed by days numbered,

as I slept through the best years

in a deep slumber.

I fought monsters in dreams,

swam in oceans and deep seas,

but never left a mark,

a part of me for the world to see.

 

Troubled times tumble by in a heartbeat

of double lines and slowing vital signs.

I fought demons in my head,

and they won so many fights.

Endless nights left in despair

and all I got in return were scars to bare.

 

Off the scale, the shakes

rumble an emotional earthquake,

somewhere deep inside.

Hit the brakes were gonna collide!

I can't think straight.

All I can do is lay here and cry.

Just staring into my calling oblivion,

nothing to leave as a reply.

 

This is a new low, so much deeper

than I usually go.

All new places to explore,

new taunts thrown at my head.

The haunting whispers from before

now shouting instead.

Put downs and slights.

Frightening insights.

Lightning quick replies,

to make me quiver in dread,

and I have nothing to give, no witty reply.

I'm just here trying my hardest to survive.

 

Tearful sighs, remind of lost lives.

Signs flicking. Bulbs blowing out,

like candles in a breeze,

the flames dance but soon leave.

And I am here to try to repair

the damage caused by the smoky air.
