Numb


I cannot bear the pain of a new wound everytime the old ones heal
I pray for this agony to remain constant
May be numbness is the cure and
Suffering shall become my constant friend.

Fresh air suffocates and sunshine blinds
I would rather lurk
As a shadow in the dark

Hope is a dangerous addiction
Broken wings are reminders of yesterday's fall
I shall live a day at a time
I do not want to sleep
And be cursed by mortal dreams

Life doesn't get better or worse
It's all what the mind perceives

I shall live a day at a time
May be one day there will be more pain and suffering to take
When I look back, today's pain may feel like a blessing.
