Codename:

Numb

I never quite figured

a word to describe

how I long for something

every night.

Something that's strong and rare

A passion, a hobby

or maybe a purpose—

I don't care.

I never quite know

what it feels

to love something

with no fear,

To fight and not regret,

to be happy or, at least,

content.

I never had the chance to feel

a flame impossible to conceal

a strong desire to be,

or even an intensity.

I'm always just in between

the valleys of vast green.

A rose withering of time,

a poetry that never rhymed.

Every second, I go numb

in the darkness, I fear to succumb.

But someday I still hope

to find purpose under the sun.

or maybe just find home

from somewhere or someone.
