Savage Dragon Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 Listen to their lies and I feel nothing inside no emotion, no feelings, makes me wonder if I’ve died words of abuse, words of hate words I despise served on a silver plate insults that have no meaning words on deaf ears familiarity with these words has calmed my fears putting me down shove me to the floor call me whatever names I’ve heard it all before I used to cry, I used to weep, I used to yell at you in my sleep Where I used to feel weakened I now feel blank Now I don’t feel human And I have you to thank Thank you for this void Thank you for leaving me cold Thank you for all those harsh words Thank you for the rumors you told Thanks for making me impervious to you Thanks for making me do this to you :dragon4: OOC: this is how i feel some times, thanks to be shunned by a lot of people, all though not as exteme as it sounds in the poem. feels nice to put it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regel Posted February 1, 2004 Report Share Posted February 1, 2004 In biological terms when an animal has experienced trauma (or believes they are about to) they often go into a state known as shock. In that state they feel a calm inspite of the situation. They shut down and are pain free, resigned to their fate. This is strange trait to select for in a gene pool. For often in the case of the mouse the cat eventually kills them. I'm not suggesting that this is the case but the trauma here is emotional. The attack is on your self image, maybe the feeling you describe is shock as well. Listen to their lies and I feel nothing inside no emotion, no feelings, makes me wonder if I’ve died Perhaps some part of you has died or resigned. words of abuse, words of hate words I despise served on a silver plate The emotional trauma described. (Cause) insults that have no meaning words on deaf ears familiarity with these words has calmed my fears The effect. The similarity is striking. The ending is the extremely sad because it seems as if you have found escape but in reality (like the mouse) you are simply awaiting your fate. Thank you for this void Thank you for leaving me cold Thank you for all those harsh words Thank you for the rumors you told But perhaps this particular mouse does finally rise up on it's hind legs and bite the tormentor on the nose with these words and this work. Thanks for making me impervious to you Thanks for making me do this to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
