Stiff and unknown
I am confused to this state,
Desperate for something to feel
I'll reach out to any emotion-
To trigger something in this system.
I want to understand better
I need to better understand
Whatever is locked up inside me.
Some code key,
To the hidden lock.
My fingers are rough with eagerness,
They lost their touch
And cannot feel what I thought real.
Still trying to define the unknown
Images restlessly guide my stone emotions
Leading to nothing but a glass box.

Deep
I found this poem to be very deep. Very. I think the last three lines made me go like...wow! Girl, you're talented...must run in the family.
I also was very sad when I read this. I hope that you're doing well and all? If not, I wonder...is there anything I can do to help you out? I mean, I am family.
Despreate (Desperate) for something to feel
I'm wondering...when did you last write a happy poem?
