As The Numbing Flees

A mild numbing is soaked in intolerance  
Drenched in the remnants of pretences  
Flooded by the swamps of its dogmatism
 
A mild numbing is overcome by delusions  
Concealing the scrutiny it needs the most  
Harboring a plethora of hostile distortions  
 
A mild numbing fails to reconsider its stance  
Impervious to the calls beyond its kingdom  
Engulfed in the flames of its ailing manners  
 
A mild numbing retreats to its own quarters  
Shriveled up in the rubble of blurry motives  
Nestled in the fruition of its fragile disbelief  
 
A mild numbing is confined by its intents  
Shielded from the distortions of scruples  
Prolific in the means to avoid discomfort  
 
A mild numbing eludes the solace it craves  
Warding off scores of looming abstractions  
Roaming the outskirts of hazardous threats  
 
A mild numbing now begins to reconsider  
Distraught by its own dubious fabrication  
Painstakingly recovering from its loathing  
 
A mild numbing breaches its own defences  
Discarding its denial, vacating its assertions  
Condemning the premise of its lonely ways  
 
A mild numbing confides in its reluctance  
Tending to the wounds of its bleeding ego  
Making amends with what it knew all along  
 
As the numbing finally flees, wisdom ensues
