Numb

Written 12-18-2008

I'm more upset when you are sad

Excited when you are only happy

Pissed off when you are mad

I cry when you are hurt

Hide when you are shy

Scream when you might be restless

I fight off emotion when you care not

I feel things stronger than you

My heart will race during a story

Eyes well up during a beautiful song

Emotions swell while arguing and

I get to sort out this curse

Makes me want to dry my eyes

Rip out my own heart and

Act careless like countless others do

I wish that the world could not reach me.
