Numb

In the shadows of your mind, where numbness resides,
I see your struggles, though masked by polished faces.
No one knows the battles you fought yesterday,
Yet pain and anxiety, your constant companions, never stray.

You've befriended them, allowed them to entwine,
When they knock, you yield, without a single whine.
But why let them grip you in their tight embrace,
When you possess the strength to break free from their chase?

"Just let go," they say, but oh, it's easier claimed than done,
Yet in you, I believe, victory can still be won.
Trapped within walls, painted in shades of dark,
Yet outside, there are voices, urging you to embark.

"Why deem yourself beyond salvation's reach?
You are worthy, dear one, of every speech."
So loosen those binds, let your spirit soar,
For within you lies the power to settle the score.

You are good enough, more than you know,
Now embrace the journey, and let your inner light glow.
Complete the journey, break free from the chains,
For in your liberation, your true self remains.
