Something I came up with in light of recent events.
Numb to forget the worry
Numb so we don't get in a hurry

Numb to forget the pain
Numb so their attempts are in vain

Forcing it upon ourselves
In an attempt to remember ones self

A calm mind without a care
We carry on those around us unaware

Killing ourselves inside and out
In vain we thrash about

Wishing to be saved from drowning
Those around us simply frowning

Losing hope we go with the flow
Learning to finally take things slow

Finally seeing what we've become
Those around us see we're numb
