Emotions are often inconvenient.
They get in the way of decisions.
People are concerned when I tell them I'm numb but I'm used to it.
I'm used to not feeling because it's not a good time to feel upset.
It's just now I'm worried that all I'll ever feel is emptiness.
I want to feel but not right now.
