Eyes wide open, yet seeing nothing
Mind working, yet thinking nothing
Tired rituals play on repeat
Never new, rarely different
Numbingly automatic.
Stifled and occupied without meaning
Volumous tasks of vacant emptiness
Burning inside, fighting to get out
Searching for a place
Summoning the strength.
Distracted and thoughtful
Patience absent,
Dreaming, simmering
Eager to try…..
Desperate to feel…..
Wake Me Up!
skyy, that is hauntingly beautiful...thank u
Wow! I have spent many, many hours trying to describe that feeling that I know so well. It's pretty difficult. The only word I can usually think of is numb. You did such a good job. This is the only poem I've come across that describes this feeling. Hopefully you aren't in a situation where dissociation is necessary...at least not constantly. I agree with jezabel 100%...it's haunting, and it's definitely beautiful.
