Silence

by Ariana   Nov 28, 2006


My conciousness is numbed
so I don't cry anymore,
and I don't bleed anymore - but,
I don't feel anymore.

I'm just a shell, just a shell
along the sea shore.
A million little prozac nuts,
medicated into silence.

The shame, the shame.

As we sit and ponder, we realise,
this new-found sanity is waning...
We breathe freely, now.
But the air is meaningless.
It's easier to exist
but harder to be alive.
My dreams are drifting away, and
I don't even care.
Oh - how can we be saved?
When the last chance has waved goodbye?

I'm just a shell, just a shell,
along the sea shore.
One of a million little prozac nuts
medicated into -
silence.

    "It's easier to exist
    but harder to be alive."

    ^wow. Just wow. I know this feeling...it's much too real. I read this quote that said "There's a difference between living and being alive." This poem kind of goes along those lines.
    I love the free-ness in your poems..the way you just say what you're thinking or feeling. Some people worry too much about the poem sounding good..but to me the emotion is what matters more.
    This is another beautiful piece. Your comparison to shells is excellent. Great work! =] keep it up.

    Amazing poem, I can't find words to describe how much I like it, how much I can relate to what you're saying. Anyway, excellently written. 5/5
