You never know till you feel

I remember a season in my life…

I found a draft (I titled it ‘Numb’) of feelings…and then I remembered the season.

I never knew that I could ever feel that way… I often wondered, if people exaggerated their narratives when they shared their experiences…

Now I know better.

Numb

I’ve been sad before

This isn’t sadness

I can’t breathe

I can’t feel… Not a thing

I’m floating everyday

The sun rises and it sets

Days have become weeks

I put on the mask of the day, everyday

No one knows…

Smiley face… Happy face…. Facade

I am tired of this feeling

How can I make it stop?

Too numb to even try

I hear someone whisper to me; “I think this is depression”
