What am I
Or should I say
What have I become
For once I meant something
But where that once came from
Is numb
Without feeling
You say you need time
But is time
Healing
Only yielding
What in the future
The past begun
Withholding the answer
Because “Needing Time”
Is to run
What in today
You rather not face
Rather not be bothered with
Rather wait
Is a mistake
At best if none
For what you
Do not face
Will only prolong
The outcome
Yet you still run
Needing
“Your” time and space
Needing to gather
Your thoughts
Needing to get your life in place
While the other waits
Wondering
What they have done
But that time only succeeded
In making them feel
What you already are
NUMB
