A Life Without Joy

A life without ever knowing love is no life at all.

Here I stand.
Away from time, feeling out of place in this world.
All around me I’m surrounded by Laughing couples,
who share a joy I’ll never know.
A joy which my young heart cannot bear.
I have never once
Experienced the thing called joy,
So far I’ve lived but a ghosted existence
Where emotions are things of others
Which I cannot know.
My only knowledge of emotions
Comes through the words of others
And the pictures they paint.
So to all who have been in the half-life,
I reach out to you, I cry out to you.
Pick up a pen,
And create for youself a life worth living.
Thank you for reading.
P.S. if you have any Tag suggestions, I’d be glad to hear them.

Nice, I found that it was a good, if slightly creepy read.

Love is like eating for people! We need it! Life would be useless if it hadn’t been for love!

They say that their is someone out there for everyone, you just have to keep looking for your mate. She might just be around the corner from where you live. You’ll know her when you see her. Nice write.

I like parts of this one. There are also parts I am not quite sure about, for example:-

“Where emotions are things of others
Which I cannot know.”

I would be a little clearer. Reading this verse, you are obvoiouly capable of certain emotions. I would be tempted to change the above to something like:-

Where positive emotions are things of others, which I cannot know.

Unfortunately poetry is something I’ve allways found difficult, partly becuase we were never taught it and trying to make something fit a beat or rhyme has never come naturally to me.

I think this is a 3am piece, it has that half asleep feel to it… your points have been noted Neil.
