[ < numb > ]
unfortunately
we have become
a comfortably numb
zombie society of addicts
chugging down
our cough medicine
of choice
terrified to
feel
unwilling to
confront
our pain
terrified of
our unapologetic
wild passion
lives spent
committed to
dulling
the truth
numbing
has no discernment
we choose
no pain
we choose
no joy
so our soul sits
in hospice
we lie
not living
waiting
to die
numbed out
dumbed down
committed
to our not feeling
i used to
i used to
not feel
it was not
until i
learned to
be with
what was
what is
really real
that i
helped my body
truly heal
for years
i thought i was
comfortable
but i was only numb
