It's doesn't rhyme! Agh! Just thought i'd try something different. Crit very much welcome as i would love to know how to improve on the art of non-rhyme.

Senselessly Numb

Is there anybody in there?
These eyes staring into me
Peering at the glassy space
That seems to occupy my face

A creaking grin coats my cheeks
But my veins run with nothingness
I barely feel the pin prick
Of words pointed at me

Inside a bubble of silence
Silence that provides the numb
Sense of existence that seems to
Inhabit this body I’m inside

Face is pressed to the ground
Unaware of the crowd that
Circles in a sphere of noise that
Can never quite reach my ears

My skin is a cold and distant
Armour that protects my creaking
Smile. Its ok, we’re all here
The faces that beg to mean
Something?

Stare at my hands in a hope
They will touch an anchor
As I’m drifting, floating,
Breathing in this gravity

Is there anybody in there?
There is no question
It’s just me, my smile
And my senseless numb.

Space and Face rhyme.

It's really a good poem. I had liked reading it.

Haha, face and space were unintentional.

Thanks for the positive comments. (:
