Numb

Numb

I’ve had enough,
I need no more pain.
It has gone beyond endurance
And beyond my tolerance.
I surrender all my emotions, freely,
And with no second thoughts.
Take it all from me
And unburden me of
All emotion, all pain,
All memory and joy.
De-humanize, in-humanize me,
If to be human
I must face all this.
Desensitize me, toughen me,
Numb me to it all.
It hurts too much,
I have it too often.
Separate me from my past,
Free from the future,
And unburden me of the present.
Make me an automaton,
Free from emotions and choice,
Free from all duties;
Free, to simply exist.
Existing only,
Neither alive nor dead,
Asleep nor awake,
Simply numb.
