Numb

Do you know what it's like to have almost no emotion

If even for a little while...

I feel like it's the worst feeling in the world

Even when it seems like you are doing well, and starting to recover

It can cause you to relapse

Almost 2 months I was clean

But I gave into the temptation after one thing happening

Loosing people you care about is one thing

But feeling like everyone just uses you and lies to you...

Well, that's another. 

The pain is becoming almost  too much

People say I'm strong

They say I'm so nice, and so beautiful

But I don't believe them

If I am....

Why am I always the one getting hurt

Why am I always the one struggling

Why am I always the one who is holding everyone up when I'm down?

Sometimes I stay quite

Listening

Observing

Watching

Just to see what will happen next

What is happening 

What people are saying

I'm not as smart as people say I am

I'm just observant

I have common sense.

I am  able to be logical when others aren't

That doesn't make me smart...

They say I'm beautiful

So why am I always feeling the opposite

People say that I'm nice

But there are things people don't know about me

If they knew they would point and say

"There's that horrible person, she did so-and -so" 

I'm not that person

I'm just a numb piece of walking flesh 

One who needs help to figure herself out
