Have You Ever Poem by Claudia Nkhata

Have you ever felt so happy that the world starts to seem like it's the only place you ever want to be?
Have you ever felt like you don't want to do anything in this world but laugh, sing and dance?
Have ever felt so strange that you don't even feel hungry?
Have you ever felt so hot that all you want to do is stay nude?
Have you ever felt like the world has suddenly changed its position so it could remain that way?
Have you ever thought that the sun could shine differently?
Have ever imagined yourself reach for the moon so you could stay closer to the universe?
Have you ever loved someone so much that you wish you'd not disclose because you feel if you do, you'd stop loving?
Have you ever felt so cold that no cardigan would stop the cold but someone's arms?
Have you missed someone so much that you stop seeing the people around you?
Have you ever wished everyone was like you just so this world could be a better place?
Have you ever felt so lonely that you wished you could stand by the seashore for the water wave to take you so you could be amongst the creatures of the Sea?
Have you ever...well, have you ever?
