Motionless
By Monkei
I lay motionless, Unfeeling, Yet afraid. I lay here, In the dark, With these tears on my cheeks. Motionless, Unfeeling, Yet in pain. This doesn't make any sense. Motionless and unfeeling, Yet afraid and hurting? How does that work? Is that possible? It must be, 'Cause it's what I'm... Not feeling, Even though I am. I don't understand. What is happening? Why do I feel this way, When I feel nothing at all? How can there be so much emotion, When I feel nothing? How can I be in so much pain, And be numb to it? I am so afraid, But still, I don't feel it. I know it's there, But I have to sense of it. What is going on? I don't understand myself anymore. I am afraid and hurting, or at least my heart is, But my mind, it seems, is oblivious. Motionless...and unfeeling.I started this poem while I was cooking in the kitchen and chatting with a friend of mine and someone said the word "Motionless" Rather odd time to write a poem, sitting there laughing at ourselves while we got high on sugar...oh well...
