Poetry

The meaning of poetry..
It's been defined as the "measured language of emotion"
The meaning of emotion..
It's been defined as a "subjective, conscious experience categorized by psychophysiological expressions"
What if you have no emotion?
What if you're numb, like me?
Does that mean you cant write poetry?
No feelings to a happy world where children play?
No hatred for the cruel things people do and/or say?
No sadness to the hunger that spreads through our poverty?
No matter how bright the sun
No matter how dark the shadows
My eye does not flinch...
So what's wrong with me?
I cannot write poetry?
I may be numb but I do observe...
I observe how you people smile.
So many different smiles.
Crooked, white, toothless, perfect smiles.
I observe your eyes.
Sorrow, mellow, calm, frantic, angered eyes.
I observe your bodies.
Careless hunching, Tightly Straight, Calmly leaned bodies.
We're all the same... But we're all unique.
Everyone's cool. Everyone's mean. Everyone's accepted. But yet were all rejected.
I finally realized what we are...
We are all bipolar.......
And that is fucking poetry...
