Numb: cynical

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home


've
become so numb
i can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
i'm becoming this
all i want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you



Distant ship smoke on a horizon...



When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.
