Numb day
I'd rather paint myself a pretty picture
then sit in my own hell
miserable
slowly digging my own grave
fighting the thoughts of a thousand words
it's over
but it
still
hurts
the
same
I try to stay steady numb to everything
but somedays
I'm able to feel
and on those days
I feel like I died ten thousand deaths
but yet more alive then anyone else
then sit in my own hell
miserable
slowly digging my own grave
fighting the thoughts of a thousand words
it's over
but it
still
hurts
the
same
I try to stay steady numb to everything
but somedays
I'm able to feel
and on those days
I feel like I died ten thousand deaths
but yet more alive then anyone else

....perfecting the art of a fake smile. It’s not so difficult when you are completely numb.
I love emotional Ink! This was written beautifully, Gigi! :)

This poem is very haunting and thought provoking, I also like the format, creative, but not over the top and annoying like some people do.
I really liked:
"it's over
but it
Still
Hurts
The
Same"
the stepping down effect really added to this, making me feel as if your heart was sinking in spite of yourself, that even though something is done and over with it's still dragging you down.
Love it.

'I feel like I died ten thousand deaths
but yet more alive then anyone else'
I can sympathize.
This poem seeps emotion,
I do like the ladder of words
it fit nicely.
Well written,
Scribbler.

Can't feel anything. This must hurt even when you are numb and can't feel. You do great work, and it is good.

This is a very good poem. I like the last line. Usually feeling more alive than anyone else is described as a good thing, but in this context I think it means that the narrator's more sensitive to pain and death due to their great aliveness. I don't think the listed words ("Still Hurts The Same") need to be capitalised, but that's the only real nit I have. Thank you for the read.
