You’ve ever felt numb?

without the drugs…

A feeling of time passing you by

and its going so fast

you can barely keep up

you look all around you

and everyone’s moved on

they’ve forgotten your loss

your hurt

the pain and trauma

they have expectations now

they want you to move on

“smile and be happy because this life is only one

appreciate what you have

and remember

everything happens for a reason

and what happened was meant to happen“

and you want to defend yourself

but the words don’t always come out

you’re so angry but the words never leave your mouth

The nerve of people thinking they know what you deserve

what happiness you’re meant to have

what hurt you can’t move on from

and you just stand there

quiet, defenseless… numb …
