Still unfeeling

Well down the path of this journey, with milestones passed along the way
With surveys and questions and analysis of what it means
To be living in this time or 'unprecedented' circumstances.

At work they ask us how we are managing to adapt to the pressures and challenges we are facing
But without waiting for the answer before they tick the box of another task done
Another box, another tick, another KPI achieved.

But as I look in the mirror in the morning I wonder what they would say
If only they knew what was going on below the surface
Of the facade I put up in order to get through the day

For as far as how I am feeling, the answer is simple
I try not to feel, for in doing so I have to expose myself to how I am really feeling
Or rather unfeeling - for only in unfeeling and I able to cope, to manage
