Numb Poem by Liyo Denorte

i want to be numb
fossil like deity
on a prehistoric slum
i'll dropp my bow and arrow
and lay still
vacantly watching the moon
swallowed by the earth's shadow
let time pass its own pace
while being
coated by film of dust
eventually being erased
by centuries worth of sands
i no longer existed
the me before
has long since vanished
I'm long since forgotten
no one dare put it into record-never been written
a charred husk
blown by the mischievous gust
fading into oblivion
into the fire, being tossed

numb
i want to be numb
scraping my knuckles
till it no longer bleed
biting my lips,
i wonder
whats the use of getting hurt
when the one responsible
does not even acknowledge it
