Numbness

aimanpashtun

Paralyzed, she feels numb

She just wants to feel something, anything.

Her nerves are dead,

She hurts herself again and again

Until she feels no more

 

Scars on her body,

Caused her to bleed.

All the silent screams,

Nobody hears

 

Nobody even noticed,

When did they ever?

She was invisible to everyone around her

No one saw her

Cause she was lost in her mind all along

 

All she did was stress,

Her head was a mess

But people called her insane?

Ignoring her pain

No one understood her

But she withstood it

 

She was a monster to them

But little did they know,

She was struggling to fight in this war.

She constantly tried to fight the battles,

With the silent screams and rattles

Her mind is out of control,

Constantly fighting with the voices inside her head

 

Surrounded by people,

but she still feels alone.

She feels like she’s not there,

Cause her head is up somewhere

It’s like walking around in a suffocating dark haze,

Where she’s trying her best to find her way out of the maze

 

She’s just exhausted,

Every breath feels so tiring.

I hope you understand,

She’s trying her best to stand and stay here
