"NUMB: A Blessing In Disguise"

It’s that rare ability

to push aside your emotions

Lock them all within

so you’re left to feel nothing

Voices of the worried

calling you out

trying to remove your doubts

but you choose to cover them up

A weird blessing in disguise

long after the tears you’ve cried

No more putting up with lies

like love, the camouflage of lust

For now,

just enjoy

this rare ability

to feel nothing but numb

even when they worry

your denial and rejection

to the buried pain

are only temporary...
