Numb

 

Shock,

Locks me down,

Close the lid

Before it all comes spilling out.

Numb it all

It’s too much to handle

As it carries

Many others with it.

Emotions are a funny thing

Triggered by one thing

Only to drag up

Things

Long since forgotten,

Things I thought

I dealt with.

Easier to

Stopper it up.

Wait for a safer day

Deal in manageable chunks.
