Poem

Why? why is it I feel like this?

A story that could bring others to tears

brings nothing more that lingering sadness

no tears to help me depart of this

not even one single, lingering tear

Just, sadness? or melancholy? sorrow? despair?

And it's not just this single story

there are happy ones, angry ones, even jealous ones

yet the emotions they bring are dull at best

slight pricks at my heart, which seems to have dulled itself

why is it only when I'm tired to a point of breaking,

that I seem to be able to let myself go

to be able to laugh with pure joy

or sob with undefined passion

I don't want to be this way

stuck with mild emotions and unfinished creativity

I wish with all my heart that either I or someone else

a person of my wildest imaginations

could finally pull me out of this dream of black and white

and I could finally experience things fully

with all of my heart and mind

but it is someone else I really need?
