My Life In Word

NUMB

I can't imagine
What it would be like
To feel nothing at all
I fear if I felt nothing
My heart would shrink
And eventually stall
To feel nothing
Would be an affront
To my sensitive soul
For it is always
In need of
A gentle cajole
To feel nothing 
One must be okay
With being comfortably numb
Assuredly, if I felt nothing
A monster I'd become
