I can't help wondering
if my life is one big joke.
Why must I feel so different?
Is it amusing to see me squirm in my own skin?
I just want to feel normal...
(whatever that is) .
I want to feel happiness.......without the guilt.
I want to feel passion...... without the shame.
I want to feel sadness.......without the hopelessness.
I want to feel love.......without feeling undeserving.
I just want to feel!
I know...
I want too much.
Mary, you want what all of us want - only you dare to articulate it and better than most of us. avr
those all seem like very reasonable things to want, Mary. at least I think so, because I want them too. anyway, good poem.
I think we are all stuck with inhibitions, Mary, if only we could just be ourselves, but society won't let us. Love Ernestine XXX
Lack of feeling is the bodies self preservation mechanism imo mary, hard to re-negotiate but love is the best fitting key! again imo. Great poem. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it relates to us all. The power of poetry? Wow....Smiling Tai
Damn it make's me look in me and see I could have so much more out of life Damn great read Superman
Humans deserve more love than they're given, who can understand the cosmic reasons for this short coming?
Really love your work at the moment. I always seem to be able to relate to your words. This is a great poem. Kindest Regards Slim. x.
