Numb Poem by Sasha Julia

Every day
Falling in deeper
Every moment
Draining my hope
Every second
A struggle to get through
The feeling of cold metal on skin
The relief that comes with the caress
Of that sliver of starlight
But it's not enough.
It's never enough to stop the pain
To stop the agony inside
Every dream
Crushed efficiently
Every memory
Laced with regret
Every thought
That I've tried to forget
Swarming, gaining, destroying my feeling
Until I am nothing.
Numb.
Empty.
