Unable to grasp the concept
that other Humans feel the same things I do.
Love, Jealousy, Anger, Sadness, Happiness, Joy
but in different ways.
It’s not selfishness,
i know that you feel Anger,
but I feel it in the tears that roll down my cheeks
and you feel it in the punch you just threw.
That girls skinny thighs are my Jealousy,
whereas yours is the shiny black Ferrari in next door’s driveway.
Opening a new book and avoiding cracking the spine is my Joy,
but your Joy is receiving a bonus paycheck.
Love to me is skin on skin at 4am, the warmth and intimacy,
Love to you is seeing your mother’s smile after long distance absence.
My boyfriend doesn’t Love me anymore, that’s my Sadness,
You broke your favourite CD and you felt Sadness.
The most wonderful emotion that everybody seeks,
Happiness.
I made a chocolate cake and watched my sister’s face light up with Happiness,
You brought an expensive grey suit for work and you felt Happiness.
What I’m trying to convey is that Humans,
feel the same rollercoaster emotions
through different situations.
Materialism. Death. Gratitude. Kindness.
