Life penetrates us
From our first breath

Life has taken something over
From us all
And we don't ever
Have an option

Feelings

The emotions that
We all experience

Someone. Anyone.
define it

We lose control
The moment we come alive

Hunger pangs kick in,
As well as the thirst, for love
Love from our parents
And our families
Friends.

Out first cry for warmth, for food and air,
As we desperately cling onto something, or someone

As newborns
We have no choice
But to feel something

We cannot force it
The devoid of emotions
Numbness of feelings
It is beyond us

It nurtures us
Into adults with yet
An even greater burning passion
To feel

This essential misery-fies us
An evil good necessity

But why
Can't we embrace it?
