"When I have fears that I may cease to be..." - John Keats


When I think about
That moment
I reopen a numbness.
When I recognize
Those emotions,
I reopen a wound.
When I realize
I’m bleeding,
I reopen a bottle
Full of pills
To reopen
The numbness.

The author's comments:
This isn't written from basis on my own personal action, but on the idea of being fine, then reopening an old sensitivity, and struggling to overcome it.
