Uncomfortably Numb

I have often told others that I do not feel pain
That is not quite accurate
It would be more accurate to say that I do not care
I no longer care about the pain I feel
I care so little I cannot feel it

I once heard a quote which resonated
Deep into my soul
“nothing you can say to me is worse
Than what I have already said to myself”
I no longer care about myself
I care so little I cannot feel me

I have often said I do not imagine
That is not quite accurate
It would be more accurate to say I stopped
For I wished to stop seeing
All that I could imagine

I have often told others I do not remember
That is not quite accurate
It would be more accurate to say bury my memories away
I no longer want the ability to remember
I live in fear of what I would
