Numb

I feel smothered, and encumbered and defeated and drawn

Disappointed over-extended and frustrated

And shaken

This over-giving, over-loving, this caretaking

Goes on

With no chance of intermission, I’ll be checked out, I’ll be gone

How to remove myself from

Sensation?

Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug

Can’t sit with this feeling

I’d rather by flying

And comfortably numb

I feel anxious I am nervous I am bored

I’m overwhelmed, rather be out of my gourd

How to remove myself from sensation?

Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug

Can’t sit with this feeling

I’d rather by flying

And comfortably numb

I am lonely I feel hungry and unloved

I feel angry I am livid need a hug

Here comes a feeling

I run from the feeling

And reach for the drug

Can’t sit with this feeling

I’d rather by flying

And comfortably numb
