Dumb Struck

jenny.g

I trudge and I toil but the words have all gone

I search passions, desires, but still there are none

I scour the faces that ignite my feeling

But the words have all withered like paint slowly peeling

Maybe some miseries achieve no relief

Through pointless and empty expressions of grief

A hole in my heart to endure forever

My own, my personal storm to weather

    A nicely written poem, tinged with sadness and emptiness, if applying to the author, i hope things get better

        I relate. When I feel like that, the words will not play ball. I hope any storm you are
        enduring passes soon.

            I recognize a few things here and have had a period of what I call numbness where no emotion seems to appear … I feel like it’s recovery after a trauma, for me, but I hope you get to feel positive emotions and many!
