Cold room, cold thoughts in my head, Words stay frozen before they’re said. Mirror talks but I don’t reply, Heartbeat low, barely alive. Snow outside, snow within, Can’t tell where I end, where I’ve been. Every feeling put on hold, Mind locked down at subzero cold. Subzero mental, no highs, no lows, Nothing hurts, nothing grows. Frozen silence in my chest, Can’t tell pain from rest. Subzero mental, flatline state, Hope arrives but it’s too late. If this numbness is my zone, I’ll survive it on my own. Messages stack but I don’t read, Too tired to want, too cold to need. Days move by in a muted tone, Same routine, different zone. Dreams packed up, put on ice, Plans postponed, not once, but twice. Every thought slows down its pace, Time slips in a frozen place. I remember how it felt to feel, Now everything’s unreal. If I break, I don’t hear the sound, Ice absorbs what hits the ground. Subzero mental, no highs, no lows, Nothing hurts, nothing grows. Frozen silence in my chest, Can’t tell pain from rest. Subzero mental, flatline state, Hope arrives but it’s too late. If this numbness is my zone, I’ll survive it on my own. Winter ends, they say it will, But my mind stays frozen still. If the thaw never comes, I’ll learn to live this numb.
