Analysis of Flooded, Dumb, Stuck, & Numb
I’m stuck, numb
no thoughts come along
absently interested in and
sickened by the emptiness
Frustrated Sedated Depressed
with no releases left, distractions fracture the past
I sit next to the mess
Misdirected
slipping into synaptic gaps
that disconnect my cognitive map
I’m flooded, dumb
with a bloodied tongue
slowly awakened, mistaken
by sensations of self-induced
secluded confusion
Misplaced information blackens the sun
I’m flooded, dumb, stuck, & numb
