A Place Called Numb

I am in that place. That numb place.

That place where I am untouchable.

Where poking and prodding will merely make dents

in fleshy skin that slowly rebounds.

I am in that place. That numb place.

That place where thoughts are not fully formed.

Deliberations drift aimlessly and disappear

into nothingness.

I am in that place. That numb place.

That place where time has momentarily stalled.

Where reality just a void in which to drop

and never land.

I am in that place. That numb place.

That place where there is no salvation,

just medication and a whole host

of side affects.

I am in that place. That numb place.

Please understand, I do not choose to be here,

its not something planned

like some sort of holiday.
