feel it

justam

where does feeling go
when people lose it?
does it get buried
or does it freeze solid?
as inconvenient as it can be
I prefer so much the hot red cheeks
of embarrassment
effort
love
confusion
to numbness
is despair waiting around the bend?
or not?
will it be joy?
or
will it be the realization that
all my feelings must die?
oh no, please no, don't!
don't make it so
it's so much better to be awake
I don't want to die from sorrow
