Inner Thoughts

Every stroke of a key,
Every movement of my hand,
I write down daily about a world I don’t understand,
The simple things, the complicated, the hard, the sad, the compassion,
I know all the definitions to every word,
But I have yet to understand human nature in their fashion,
The tears of pain,
The tears of joy,
The love of a girl,
The heart of a boy,
These emotions do not compute,
When they’re happy they laugh,
But when sad they’re mute,
The jealousy,
The pride,
These are emotions that are felt that when we are alive,
The happiness,
The bliss,
Why do we notice these things when they are a miss?
Because this is our life’s story
Every lesson is written on a page,
Every heart askew beating in a cage,
Frightened and silent about how we feel,
Yet screaming on the inside because we know it’s real
