Numb.
Numb is easy.
When I am numb, the tidal wave of feeling that threaten to crush me are held at bay.
They crash against a glass wall crying to be let in.
I sit on the beach watching.
I can see the cracks in the glass, praying they hold.
For I know when the wall finally shatters, I will be consumed.
I wait.
Holding my chest but feeling no beat.
I wait.
As the waves come to swallow me whole.
Numb.

WELCOME CATIE ~ Thanks for your first Poem ~ elegantly penned but a NUMB content ! We all feel like that sometimes NUMB an\d only just holding out against the pressures of live. I've found as I've got older (30+) and wiser and more experienced and independent I am my "Own Man" and less numb and can withstand the pressures better ~ I live "one Day at a Time" and have a Lady Friend and a Faith which helps ! Every blessing ~ Yours BRIAN (UK)
I think we all have felt this way at times, and yes its easy. But facing those feeling and issues that consume us, make us stronger in the long run.
I do like how you expressed your self in this piece.
