Typical
November 16, 2013
Is it normal to feel this bland
This blank and unemotional
This awkward thing called silence
When all I'm used to
Is the noise?
Is it weird to be so calm
To feel nothing inside
To feel no pain or sorrow
When all I used to do
Is cry?
It strikes me as awkward
When I don't feel my core
When there is no blood
Seeping through anymore
It strikes me as right
Yet it feel so wrong
Just to be typical.
And happy all life long.

Love it! Can totally relate to that feeling of 'no blood seeping through anymore." Really demonstartes how one can build up emotional barriers.
