To separate emotion
numb your feelings,
calm your fears;
sinking unaware.
Achieving peace
through callous heart
and shallow soul;
slowly drift away.
Where nothing is good
or evil or cruel,
unjust or fair;
it merely is.
Life does not exist
beyond what you see,
what you perceive;
your world is small.
Keep it in a tiny box
don’t let it be shaken
or disturbed;
you are safe.
What is pain?
