emotionless.

emotionless.

A Poem by Caitlynn Cusick

what are these.... emotions... is that what they are called?
    i have lost all meanings of the word.
its syllables taste dry and lifeless on my poisoned tongue.
i can't recollect more than fragments of feelings.


all i feel is anger and sorrow.
    are there any more emotions out there?
the rest are poked and prodded into my heart.
since when do they have to be captured like birds in a cage?

is this really worth it at all?
   living like a corpse, feeling only the emotions of death itself.
i live in a world that causes desensitization.
a removal of all feelings and emotions within themselves.

in what right mind is this ok?
   i walk as though my world will fall apart at the blink of an eye.
it all relies on keeping a fake smile.
once again, something forced to block out the pain.
