In order to explain,
It’s the only way ,
To stay sane;
Just for today.
A price with a fee,
If I’m numb “everything will be okay” ;
It’ll save me,
All the pain will go away.
Bad advice,
I know;
But wouldn’t it be nice,
To just let go.
I work so hard to grow,
To change it all:
But I’m so hollow,
I can’t break through the walls.
Too many years ,
Of built emotions ;
So many tears,
Going through motion.
Scar on top of scar,
“What a lifestyle?!”;
My dreams are so far,
Let’s trade awhile.

(what a great write!
and I thank you for inspiring these words below, from within me;
forgive me for my rudeness
I read your poignant words and simply wanted to scribble a poetic reply)
you title it numb
other's minimalist
my chosen word is cynic,
each and all, grappling
with the sink
in our draining, scenic thinking
yet
down there in the drains and gutter
where finality, insures
we all gather
all this, must seem
like childish theatrics of
cowardly obstinate, distractions;
doing, all we can
to prevent ourselves
from realising: all we can
so as to not be burdened
like those pitiful, who acclaim
only the goodness or wrongness
in existence
blind, to the crimson drip
in the their zealotry's glare..
indeed
let us ward-off
against experiencing our lives, cold turkey
by crowding behind
our labels and titles;
for who would want to see
all: of universe and matter?
imagine,
feeling such pure joy
aside
depthless, pools of quicksand strife..
no thanks!
'I'll take sugar with my coffee
thank you, Frappuccino
even better
oh yes, I do so revel
in my childish taste buds
and antics'

Thank you for the support
Really great read, thank you for sharing. Escapism vs dealing with pain vs letting go. All have their time and place.
Thank you it means a lot 🙂
