If only the silence could find me,
I could forget everything;
The pain, regret, but most of all-
The loss.
If only I could get my mind to
Shut Up.
Is it possible?
Darkness creeps on me,
In all my thoughts.
"Go away!" I wish I could shout,
But if I did it wouldn't help.
I want to feel numb,
I want to find the silence.
My mind won't let me win.
If only the silence could find me.
Sometimes all I want is to not be able to think about what I've done. I just want my mind to go blank and let me be numb for a while until I'm ready to deal with it.

I've actually found the state of being numb, to let everything go and practically be invincible. It doesn't last long, and as empowering as it feels the desensitization actually pushes people away, regardless if whether or not that is your intent.
But as I think about it, I realize that being numb is a wall, to compensate for how vulnerable we really are. Though this is probably not the point of this piece, if you truly want to find yourself, you have to destroy these walls. The destruction of the ideas of ones "self", simply put "Self destruction" will bring about your true inner self.
Sorry to practically write an essay on your comment feed, I should have just told you that I really liked this piece and could relate to it and left it alone. Regardless I'm subscribing because I can see that you're gonna spit out some more goodies.
