“I am fine”, I say …
but actually no,
no, i am not fine,
i am just about as fine as a dung-dusted shoe is from a shine.
no, i am not fine,
i am lost,
I am lost between mangled dreams, and howling screams,
discordant, jangling,
being ripped agonisingly apart at the seams,
these blinded eyes drowning in torrential streams,
strangled, neutered, dull,
with just enough time to mull,
that every shard of emotion has been anaesthetised,
that every filament of feeling has been rendered null –
with every sentiment vacuumed into the frigid void,
knowing there can be no gnawing pain,
knowing that every neuron is of all static devoid

Thank you very much indeed for sharing this scribble of mine. Much obliged and warmest wishes to you and all of your readers 🙏🏾👍🏾
