Numb

My numb is faltering here
I'm not sure why
I can slip into my iron clad
As easily as I can fall asleep
I just need a little help
From little capsules

And when that iron begins to melt
Against my will it falls away
My inner self becomes
Overwhelmed
I feel
And I don't wish to
Because what I feel
Isn't what I want

Pain, I hurt so
My chest squeezes
Strangles my heart
And I have to remind myself
Hearts don't feel
Its my head that's the
Enemy
I am my own worst enemy
And I'm trapped in my own
Emotions

Your poetry is harsh....like a crosscut saw; and honest....like intense pain that makes no pretense and is not shy, but bolding visits us when it will. I like your words, Sarah Jane.

Thank you,Ive been trying to see what was different about my writing because its a distinct difference from my past poetry. You have cleared up the wonder.
