Sliced and Diced
isn't this supposed to hurt by now?
Forced and battered
isn't this supposed to hurt by now?
Failed and flogged
where do you draw your line?
Pushed and shoved
why have I become so damn numb?
Lied to and betrayed
the extent of your words is lost.
Author notes
This is about my dad and well about how I've had my heart broken so many times. Whatever by whoa nd for what reasons are all blending into one. Everyone reminds me of someone who hurt me. I wish I knew how to explain it.
After a while I figured out that you just go numb...
You start to lose the glamour of being the eye of attention and the gossip falling off everyones lips.
But yeah.
Pain is usually associated with feeling hurt, but I have lost all feeling whatsoever.

I can relate to the pain of of being let down by others, especially parents. I don't know your situation, so I can't speak to it directly. I do hope you have a good enough relationship that you can talk to your dad about what's going on with you. He may not ralize how important he is in your life right now. When kids become teenagers, they tend to start stretching their wings and testing the limits in their transition to adulthood. Most often, they have no time for parents anymore and they are the ones to sever those bonds. It may be that he thinks you want your space. I wish you well on whatever it is that has you down. Try to remember that you are a worthy person. Thanks for sharing this!

Raw and Emotional
For such a short poem it was excellent...and really really emotional. I know what its like to have no feeling...i've been there before...my most recent piece of work Is about me and my boyfriend...and he pulled me out of that stage although, sometimes with everything that goes on in my own life i almost wish i was numb again, like how you describe in this poem. I like how you ask the questions every other line because it draws the reader in and makes them want to read more. This is a really good pieice for sure! Lots of raw emotion! Good job!
