Numb

As Linkin Park said 'I've become so numb'
I understand them no emotion, not a crumb
It's like an emotion capsule in you is filled to the brim
It shatters, it spills, everything is colourful, then it goes dim

No emotions, no feeling
Suddenly nothing is appealing
The real world shows up before your eyes
Like the washing away of cheap dyes

Once the protective guard is away
You can see behind the fake display
All the big and friendly hugs
Are cancelled out when they make you look like a mug

After so many emotional attacks inside
Your emotions slowly start to hide
To fragile to put on show
So their meanings people will never know

They slowly start to gather dust
Letting them go takes to much trust
Guarding them has become an obssession
The thing you can't see is your most prized possession

Like a fish to a hook, your emotions are caught
An event so long you have fought
Desperately trying to get off the hook
But apparently theres not a rule for that in the book

Then your dragged along the ground
On a path where you don't want to be found
Then you find out it isn't so bad
Emotions gently spill out, happy and sad

Smash! The container broke again
Feelings stampeding out the den
an empty capsule once more
It's time to close the emotional door

For the second time I feel numb
Letting out my emotions, some would say I was a fool or dumb
Feelings  will never go out but to me they will come in
Never sharing my feelings will be one of my sins

Feeling numb weren't the only thing I learnt
I learnt more then once you can get burnt
I think the phrase goes 'once bitten twice shy'
Either way it wasn't a lie
