Numb.
def: deprived of the power of a sensation.

I feel numb.
I feel like I can't reach out anymore.
Everything around me is dull.

What used to seem fun just isn't.
And I don't know why.

I want to be happy again.
I want to be the smiling little girl in those pictures.

People show their concern.
But I don't want them to worry.

When we say we're fine,
are we really?
Are we lying to ourselves to make ourselves feel better?

Probably.
But I just don't know anymore.
I don't know why I feel like this.
I'll tell you right now that I don't like this feeling.

I wish to be happy.
I want to smile.

So I will try.
We will all try.

Cause despite the darkness now,
there is hope.

There's hope for
all
of
us.
