A numbness settles over me,
As if my body's made of stone,
No feeling, no sensation.
As if I'm all alone.
My limbs are heavy, lifeless,
My heart beats slow and low.
A sense of hopelessness pervades,
As if there's nowhere left to go.
I try to shake the feeling off,
To rouse myself to action.
Every effort seems in vain,
No spark of satisfaction.
And though I may be numb today,
And though there seems no hope,
I fear that I will never find my way,
And struggle just to cope.
For every day the numbness grows,
And weighs upon my soul.
A heavy burden that's hard to bear,
Leaves me feeling cold.
I try to find a glimmer of light,
A reason to go on,
But every path leads to despair,
And all my hope is gone.
So here I am, lost and alone,
Trapped in this endless gloom.
A prisoner of my own mind,
Until my final doom.
