Emotions are fleeting, unstable indicators of the heart's deepest needs. They flash glimpses of the pain, they violently attempt to reopen the scars, they leave the human bleeding and seething in the pain. Numbness overtakes. It dulls all emotion, it freezes the hurt, it turns the soul into a mere shadow of its former self. Numbness blocks the pain. The immortal, all-consuming pain that burns, tears, breaks and hardens the heart. It freezes the very core of the soul, turning the life into a mere existence.
The shield of numbness bears the holes. The invisible, traitorous, innocent holes. People.
The audience of people are ignorant of the pain, they know little of the scars, they turn away from the hellish burns and charred scorch marks. Too afraid to look. Too shocked to acknowledge. Too taken by numbness to feel the pain.
The human becomes overwhelmed by feelings long forgotten, but the numbness rapidly spreads from the mind, to the heart, to the very deepest core of the soul, returning the soul to the mere shadow of its former self.
