Cognition....Or A Lack Thereof

When you don't have to think
You don't have to hide
Behind a mask made of
Anger, pain, and frustration
When you don't have to think
You don't have to hide at all,
Because when you don't think
You can't feel, you can't feel at all
And sometimes...
Just sometimes...
That lack of emotion
Makes it so much easier
To make it through the day
Without having to worry
About whether they'll see
As you have to fight back the empty tears
And the sobs
As you fight back the breakdown
It's easier to make it through it all
When you don't have to think
And you can sit there
In a room full of people
And still be in your own little world
Where nothing matters,
Not a single thing
