A Girl Without Feelings
She walks through life,
glancing around herself.
She feels nothing,
this girl without feelings.
her head is empty
and allows no emotion.
as she walks through this life,
She floats past anger
pain,
fear,
and happiness,
as if they never existed.
she feels nothing.
A girl without feelings.
But her heart knows,
and stores all the feelings she ignores
and fails to feel.
They pile up inside of her,
waiting for the day when she must feel.
When things get so bad
that she crumbles into a heap on the floor
and cuts.
As suddenly as they come,
the feelings and tears are gone.
And she is once again
the girl without feelings.
