    Unplugged
    I fill these pages with the whispers of my soul
    Yet I feel as though it means nothing.
    The slight impulses of emotion
    Wither onto a debris of broken thoughts.
    I feel hardened and my tears dried.
    I want to feel alive
    with my heart throbbing,
    my eyes swelling, 
    and my logic deprived. 
    What I thought made me human
    Has evaporated into a gray shell of detachment.
    I want my feelings to explode once again,
    I want to feel helpless,
    I want to feel loveless.
    I want to feel humane.
    Ive deceived the feeling out of my nerves,
    Ive punctured my guilt with reason,
    Ive produced a thing with no remorse,
    Ive killed the humanity within my veins.
    I want to find comfort in the warmth of my tears.
    I fill these pages with the whispers of my soul
    Yet I feel as though it means nothing.

    The slight impulses of emotion
    Wither onto a debris of broken thoughts.

    I feel hardened and my tears dried.
    I want to feel alive
    with my heart throbbing,
    my eyes swelling, 
    and my logic deprived. 

    What I thought made me human
    Has evaporated into a gray shell of detachment.

    I want my feelings to explode once again,
    I want to feel helpless,
    I want to feel loveless.
    I want to feel humane.

    Ive deceived the feeling out of my nerves,
    Ive punctured my guilt with reason,
    Ive produced a thing with no remorse,
    Ive killed the humanity within my veins.

    I want to find comfort in the warmth of my tears,
    but I've forgotten how to cry.

    My son is Alex m. and so I had to read your poem. You express your emotion of feeling no emotion so well. To think that some go through life trying not to feel and so they don't really live. Bravo For expressing what is unexpressable.

    I love the powerful emotions expressed so well in this poem...how we suppress what is natural in an attempt to avoid the discomfort.

    wow, another great piece. you know who you are, for better or worse it seems. "....i've killed the humanity within my veins." is genius. the only critique here is resolution. or is absolute despair the resolve? either way it's brilliant. thank you.

    To have great poets there must be great audiences too.
