Numb - A Shakespearean Sonnet

The tall brick wall which once stood tall,

Reduced to a pile of rubble.

Lonely I stand, tall and sad awaiting my downward fall.

Walking along not feeling,

Frozen in time, calling for others but hearing no replies.

No matter how long I live alone, I find no room for healing.

The people I know go about, adding daily to their web of lies.

The loss of a friend, the pain from today,

I’ll carry my burdens for the rest of the way.

As much as I love them, I wish I could getaway.

Just leave me alone, I’m not okay.

Through it all, I have survived,

and as time went on, my flowers have will thrived.
