No Emotion
I wake up each morning
Always with the same feeling
Like no ones pushed that button
That turns me on for today
Like my shades are still closed
And my feelings unexposed
What am I to do?
What am I to say?
To get inside your head
And find that place to stay
Why am I full of shame?
Why am I so broken?
Each day ends the same damn way
Never changing, no emotion
Is there some reason
I was born without a heart
Is there some reason
I am so empty...
Someone help me understand
Help me reach some land
Let me through my wall
Please, before I fall
Oh God, let me in
Before I reach my end

Indeed, this is a well connecting piece. One that seems to describe the well known chemical imbalance ~ Depression...
Nice Job J.P., ~PEACE OUT
truly and whole heartedly a very strong poem...\i feel the job of a poet is to express them selves through words them allow others to connect. i have felt this strange void of emotion lately as well. while it leaves you feeling inhuman it will pass is wat i tell myself..
but thank you for making me human again since another feels the same way...
Great poem
