BLURRED SENSES

 

The way my eyes sing 

the lyrics of my sadness

tell me can you read them

The voices in my head 

that leak out through my ears

tell me can you hear them

The obnoxious smell of my anxiety

that leaves me paralyzed

tell me can you recognize the stench

The excruciating fear of my desolation

that creeps out through me

tell me can you feel the crippling pain running through my body

The acrid taste of my solitude 

that makes me reminisce all my ugly memories 

tell me can you taste them too

How can you say you understand

if you can't hear the echoes of my sadness 

through my eyes

or hear the voices that are awfully loud ,they scream out 

                        through my ears

smell the horrid stench stretching out 

                        through me

taste the sourness that showers my body

                        with trauma 

feel the  shivering coldness that

                         leaves my limbs numb
