Numb

The feelings of numbness some lost souls harbor in themselves.

I am numb,

Always lately do I feel so empty.

Happiness or sadness I beg thee come

For in this there is no beauty.

Slowly they call

Coaxing me into just one more.

Entrapping me with their drawl,

Saying skin is better tore.

Anything to feel alive

Partake I will.

To rid of this I strive,

Though lack I in skill.

This is worse than distress,

Please just put me to rest.

Wow. This poem is like diving into the mind of a depressed person barely holding on. The ending is so powerful, we humans are made of emotions and it's really hard when moroseness takes over. I also like the rhyme, the A B A B rhyme ( rimes croisées in French, I don't now what it is called in English ) is especially light on the mind and you can easily memorize it. Good work.

Thank you!:)

Whoa, scary stuff. The ending is powerful, but does express a desire to feel pain rather than nothing. "The opposite of love is indifference," as someone said. Better to feel pain than nothing. Word.

[Lexi]

Thank you for that, I'm glad you took the time to add a review :) And sorry it's scary :/

[Zany]

no worries. Some shock value is good in poetry.
