Apathy

Feeling no feeling is the worst feeling in the world.
You are separated from the fragility of human nature.
You are numb with shock
And you feel like you are two inches tall.
You can't feel the piercing feeling of fear,
Or the electrifying emotion of excitement.
There are no butterflies flapping around wildly in your stomach
When you are nervous.
You feel nothing when you hear a young smiling child laugh,
Or hear an upset cry from a stranger in the street.
But one thing is for sure: feeling no feeling is the worst feeling in the world.
