4. Forgotten
What point are you in life?
What purpose do you serve?
I'm sure you have your answers
But I also have mine
Its not that I don't care,
It's the people that say I don't
Its no big deal
Thing is, I can't
Why?
I've forgotten how to
You'll ask how?
I'll say, I don't know
Does it really matter?
I've reached a certain point where I can't feel it
All of it is blurry
I want to care but I can't
Why?
I've forgotten how to
A point where all there is...
Is 'pain' and 'fear'
The pain of betrayal
The fear of being left alone
The pain of being looked down upon
The fear of having to bear all of it alone
I should care but I can't
I've forgotten how to
A point where we embrace the tears
A point where nothing matters anymore
A point where all you want is peace
But you know what......
It doesn't matter, we don't care
Why?
We've forgotten how to

A strong sense of emotional distance and a lack of direction in life. A stage at which you have lost the ability to feel, care and find purpose in life. Disconnection between your own emotions and how you come across to others. It's not that you don't care; rather, it's that you lack the capacity to care.
