So Numb.

I am a deranged mess of nothingness,
My mind is a huge black void,
I am full upto the brim with emptiness,
With numbness, I feel so cloyed.

It's been so long, It seems so far,
It's like forever my life's been in greys,
Make a change, please help me out,
Along the edges, my existence has begun to fray.

Oh do something! Atleast make a dent,
In this facade I can't seem to break through,
No, I dont want to feel so quiescent,
Paint it vivid, this picture of life I once drew.

Shatter me, devastate me,
Arouse me from this apathetic nightmare,
Give me agony, give me ecstasy,
I'm tired of playing this game fair.

Overwhelm me, ignite me,
Show me what it's like to be crushed senseless,
Intoxicate me, desolate me,
Oh no, give me anything but this demureness.

Since the days of yore, my being's been asleep,
For once, make it feel alive and breathing,
It's suffocating in the ocean of numbness so deep,
Do make it experience something more than a mere fling.
