Numb Poem by Sandy Brady Breault

I thought my words were just letters on a page
They had no meaning, love, laughter or rage

You read them and felt that there was real pain inside me
I said to myself. those are just words, not my reality

So I read them again, and said this poem is called 'untitled' as of yet
The word lost came to mind, and I sat down and wept

I sat and I cried til there were no more tears left to flow
What I couldn't see, took one look for you to know

My life is a shell of what it used to be
I've lost all the zest of lifes true beauty

Where do you go to be happy again?
Is it through a lover, family member or friend?

Maybe I just need an ear so I can let this pain out
I just want to talk, too tired to shout

Sometimes I'm so tired, I just want to sleep
But I'm afraid I might slip down too deep

So I live day by day behind my own smile
I'll continue to take small steps until I cross that last mile
