Up until today, I only ever felt three emotions
Sadness
Deeper sadness
And anger
The anger took me through any given day
The sadness took me through the nights
The deeper sadness I felt when a life or special moment has completed
The response to each emotion was always just tears.
I yearned to feel more.
At the same time feeling privileged
At least I still could feel.
Then today my heart turned off.
Followed by my brain
Felt nothing and thought nothing of it.
I wish I had someone else’s life even for a day.

Up until today, I only ever felt three emotions
Sadness
Deeper sadness
And anger
The anger took me through any given day
The sadness took me through the nights
The deeper sadness I felt when a life or special moment has completed
The response to each emotion was always just tears.
I yearned to feel more.
At the same time feeling privileged
At least I still could feel.
Then today my heart turned off.
Followed by my brain
Felt nothing and thought nothing of it.
I wish I had someone else’s life even for a day.
