“FEELING ANYTHING”

–

Why do the knees get bloodied

By rubbing and rubbing off skin…

Pulling out hair and sundry,

When one wants to pack it in?

–

Some people cut themselves

While other just chew their nails…

What does one do to awake the senses

When feeling for life fails?

–

Some hide and nurse  self-pity

While others in a crowd explode…

Bringing one’s self out of an abyss

Is really a very rough road!
