Numb

It's amazing
I kill off everything
Trying to ignore the good

Maybe
Animals
That seek to be
Within the forest

Maybe
Creatures
On land and sea

Maybe
Trees
That don’t care about
Their foliage

Everything

I kill off everything

That is good

I’ve lost my true empathy
I cannot flourish
I ignore the fact
That
I have been there

It's amazing
I kill off everything
Trying to ignore the good

Any love I might have found
Disappeared in the air
Like a moth
Only I wasn't his light

Hurt?
Well, it runs deep
But who doesn't have hurt
Show me that soul, and I'll sell you a bridge

Loss?
Well, that's an interesting subject
I lost my keys
So yes, that's the most I'll discuss loss, thank you very much

I'm not despairng-ish
Or shaming-like
I swear I feel happiness all the time
I'm the spokeswoman for smiles
My smile is ultra-white

There are no problems in here
Everything is so perfect, it almost hurts
It is, what's the word?
Magical

Yes. I am living the magical life
Dancing in my blue dress
Made of chiffon and dreams
Swooning as I'm swept off my feet

I told you.

There's no poem here.

It's just my magical life
The one I was promised
I'm followed by stars
They are so bright

They illuminate my skin
While I sing to my birds
It's amazing really
How dreams come true

Why can't they see it?
Those pesky men in white?
Always flitting about with pill filled plastic cups
I have my own potions, thank you very much

See?

There's no poem here.
