emotionless
I don't know what to do now,
I'm angry and unhappy and tired
and frustrated
I feel beat down and unwanted,
Even though everyone is so close,
But now, even though I know my feelings
I feel blank
I want to wreck and destroy,
will that make me feel better?
Maybe.
Anything is better than this state,
I cant handle it, its not pretty,
It's not anything to admire,
and I don't even want anything to do with it,
my breath in and out,
the room is suffocating me,
when will this end, will my emotions come back?
Can I be myself again?
I want to yell and scream
I can picture the act and the feeling of relief
but have I forgotten how to feel
it doesn't feel like me
I remember my anger
do I feel sad? Did I hurt the other?
Do I feel like apologizing?
No.
I'm lying to myself
I don't understand it
will I forget this sensation?
The feeling is coming back?
Yes.
The people I know who love me
are here with me in my heart
they hold the pieces of my box
the box with my everything
they each stole a piece when we met
they each kept a piece when they left
they each hid a piece when I changed
when will I get it back?
Do I deserve to get it back
my precious emotions?
Will I change enough for them to return it
they will know when I have earned the right to get it back
they will protect it until I am strong enough
because I am so weak
There is no ending to this poem
I am still recovering my emotions
but until I have earned the right
I remain emotionless.
