Feeling

~Date Unknown~

The numbness is fading as years are added to my life

I stand now stripped of pride, happiness, energy

Everything but a little hope

I hurt with a depth once unimaginable to me

These feelings that I thought had simply disappeared

Are here, just as strong, yet not half as dark

Yet I admit this fear

And I hurt

I want to get rid of this pain

Fix the problem

Deal with it all

Be done with it

Yet I have learned this is not to be

It will be long, confusing, and lonely

Still, I need to know…

Will it ever be over?
