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.
Well, if all this is asking too much, then I reckon another 6 billion people (myself included) are all in the same boat. Warm regards from another asker of too much (and unabashedly so) , Gina.
The acknowledgement of what you want is the first step, Mary. Keep going! Raynette
Passion has no shame, all love is deserved, embrace sadness and happiness as an emotional balance. Rusty
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

Humans deserve more love than they're given, who can understand the cosmic reasons for this short coming?
