Numb.
That's how I've been feeling
for a while now.
Well, besides the other main feelings.
Distorted.
Isolated.
Alone.
Robot.
Depressed.
Empty.

Weeks pass
Some mood swings
come and go.
Anger.
Jubilance.
Disgust.
Hatred.
Then I feel empty inside,
once again.

I'm happy one minute,
and the next,
I'm whispering, "I'm fine."
But I wish you could realize
that's anything
but the truth.

Because 'I'm fine'
is one of the
biggest lies
anyone can tell.

And just once,
I wish
someone
would look into my eyes,
and say,
"No, you're not."
