Poem: Numb

Updated on April 5, 2010



I enter the parking lot

I sigh with dread

I slowly find the energy to go on

I open the door and start the walk

 

I numb my mind along the way

I wonder how long this will last

I dream of something better

I wonder what I've become

 

I leave the parking lot

I sigh with relief

I try to denumb my mind

I struggle to not let this define me

      Thanks all for the comments...this is my first poem or whatever and I was nervous about even making it public!

      Trust me, being numb all the time isn't all that great!

      My mind is in a constant state of numbness.

      I'm left wondering where this parking lot is... work, hospital, school? Very intriguing.

      @Cris A: Hola...thanks for the comments. Yeah, numbing the mind is hard, but, for me, essential, for mental stability!
