I have never understood what people meant by 'I can't feel a thing'.
But now I get it,
It means that I am in a happy situation,
Surrounded by people I love and who love me,
Pretty good grades,
Nothing majorly bad is going on in my life,
And I feel a duty to be happy about it,
After all, it's all I could have wished for.
But I can't be happy,
I smile and laugh and for a split second I'm happy,
But then it goes away again,
And I'm left hollow,
Like feelings no longer exist,
And that realisation makes it hard to breathe.
