Poems of Doubtful Hope

From feeling numb To not caring that you feel numb. Emotions tamped down, Problems still remain. Trying to trust the process, But missing out on life in the meantime. I feel like I should cry. I feel like I should be anxious. I feel like I'm smothered in a blanket Woven from a laissez-faire attitude. Is it better to feel something awful Or to not feel anything at all?

This poem's a distraction From self-indulgent sabotage.  An intentional disruption To give you time to think and pause. Examine what you're feeling, Why it has you reeling, And figure out a better way To try and help yourself today. Be honest with yourself, Try your best to be kind, Unburden your heart, Examine your mind. Wherever this reflection goes, Know that all of life's great woes Are better served by love and grace Than cutting your nose off to spite your face.
