Anesthetic

 It was a surreal feeling,
Being put under an anesthetic.

It felt like I was wide awake,
Yet completely numb to what would be painful.

I could feel my body telling me what I was feeling.
My mind letting me know the nerves are active.

Relaxed, yet aware.
Able to answer and respond to every question.

There were times I had to remind myself,
How to breathe, how to think.

But I don't think I'll ever forget that surreal surgery,
Hungry as I am, unable to eat.
