Feel something
Anything
Just something
I breathe the words
Into your zombie like mind
Powerful
Strong
Heartfelt
I breathed the words
Into you
To shake you up
To stop you self destructing
Or, at the very least
To bring you back
From the brink
Of nothingness
The emptiness you feel
Through childhood trauma
And then, as your adult life
was threaded through that,
always got you thinking,
you are worthless
Never good enough
You tuned out
when you were young
And you kept up
the self defence
Mechanism
Even when it wasn’t needed or beneficial
because that is nature
You did what you had to do
to survive
You tuned out.
But now…
Things are bad aren’t they?
You’re losing the plot.
Are you dying?
Feel something
Feel something
I said it over and over again
And the shock and surprise
on your face
As you were shaken
From your stupor
Was dramatic
Shock. Surprise.
Be shocked. Be surprised.
Wake up
Feel Something.
