Nothing

I feel nothing.

Not a drop of joy
Nor a pinch of pain.
Not the wind on my face
Nor the coldness of the rain.

I feel nothing.

The cries of life,
The ripening flowers
The sweet fruits,
The luck of clovers.

All feelings accompanied
Left at the airport,
To be later collected and auctioned
Like inanimate cargo.

I feel nothing.

Not the pain of loss
Nor the cuts of dreams,
Shattered by reality
Like torn seams.

Why can't I feel?

Is this a blessing or a curse?
Am I not humane? Not living?
I live like a illiterate adorned with gold,
Clueless of the gifts he's been receiving.
