Write how it feels to be numb, whether its physical, emotional, or mental
Write how it feels to be numb, whether its physical, emotional, or mental
Oftentimes i feel
as if i were covered
by a light dusting of frost
like baking sugar.
My skin blue as irises,
smothered by pinpricks
of slender ice like a mountain
blanketed by snow.
My blood itself congeals
like sleet in my shallow veins
and my breath is suspended,
searingly bitter, in my throat.
My fingertips grow ashen
with frostbite as if charred
and the lashes of my eyes
are powdered by rime.
My heart, my soul, are numb.
