Static
How does numbness often imitate despair?
I'm starting to understand how silence can be deafeaning,
How dichotomies are sometimes symbiotic paradoxes of polar opposites.
The senselessness leaves me senseless,
Brought to relentless anger by a lack of sensation.
How can feeling nothing feel worse than feeling everything at once?
Why does emotional stagnation make me want to die more than my deepest sorrows?
At least when it storms there are rainbows and puddles,
but when these skies are overcast in a drought, stubborn and unrelenting,
it's just cold and upsetting.
I need to feel joy, I need to feel pain,
There's nothing worse than this white noise on my brain.
