This poem is about a boy who wanted to feel what everyone else seemed to have so easily-warmth, love, closeness, and the feeling of being important. He wasn't loud about it. He didn't beg for attention. Instead, he wrote. He turned his loneliness into quiet lines, his longing into soft verses, and his silence into poetry.
To others, his words may have looked like just another sad poem on a page. But hidden inside those lines was a person who wanted to be seen, to be understood, and to feel less invisible. Only later did people realize that every verse was a piece of him, every metaphor a confession, every quiet line a truth he couldn't say out loud.
"I Also Wanted to Feel" is not just a poem-it is a reflection on how easily we miss the emotions of those around us, and how words can carry feelings that voices cannot. It reminds us to listen more, to care sooner, and to notice the quiet ones before their silence becomes permanent.
