Numb

A Short Poem

By Rika LekayPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

***

I can't see anything,

Nor do I hear,

Or feel anything.

***

My mind is numb,

It cannot think clearly.

Because it's afraid...

Afraid of being shunned...

***

Forced to think in a way,

That it cannot think,

In a creative manner.

I am trapped...

***

Trapped in a pit of boredom,

I hate it here.

But alas...

I cannot escape.

I'm stuck here forever.

***

Forced to be boring;

Forced to never express myself,

For who I truly am.

Forced to live a fake life,

Where I cannot express my emotions,

Or my true self to the world...

Freely.

***

All I can do is...

Hide...

Hide my pain;

Hide my truth.

For I am numb,

And trapped.

***
