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.
So, so glad to see throughmyhearts in my Inbox again! And though this poem speaks of the kinds of deep challenges and wrestlings so many of us are familiar with, I trust your beautiful spirit will pull you through. Many blessings to you…
