Numb

You know when you run your fingers along a playground fence

or when you clump a snowball in your hands, 

you feel numb, if only for a little while.

that desired feeling of invisibility, of no feeling; your escape.

then you feel the throbbing tingle and you're reminded that this is only for a moment

it is not eternal, you're still live, you still feel pain, 

and you will never truly be   n u m b

Cut

Have you ever curled yourself around a razor blade,

nipped your skin deep and watched the scarlet liquid run down your skin,

and you did so because you felt alive again instead of that lonely feeling the welled up inside of you?
