I can't

I can't breathe,

I can't speak,

I can't feel anything. 

I'm numb.

What is this feeling?

I don't like it.

This feeling has been with me for years.

I still can't get used to it.

This dumb feeling is distancing me from Those I love.

But I can't feel anything, so do I really love Them?

I think I love them.

At least at one point I did 

Do they love me?

Do they think about me?

Do they care?

I can't think,

I can't speak, 

I can't go on like this 

I have to give up 

Sooner rather than later


The author's comments:

I shared this with my mom and she thinks it's the feeling of rejection. My dad left when I was 3 months old and has been in and out of my life since. I haven't seen him in 2 years.
