This is a Villanelle *A type of poetry…* That I wrote..
When am I alive?
When am I alive?
I don’t know, as a child?
I’ll never know.
How many licks does it take,
To get to the center of a tootsie pop?
I’ll never know.
When am I truly myself?
What age am I when I lived life to the fullest?
When am I alive?
I’m still young,
Young, and able to die, but when is that?
I’ll never know.
When can we find our true selves?
When can we live, not in fear?
When am I alive?
If we find true happiness,
What does it feel like? Maybe
I’ll never know.
Why do we go to war,
for money and power? I wonder…
When am I alive?
Why do we live,
if we’re all going to die?
I’ll never know…
When can we find ourselves,
laughing, like innocent children?
When am I alive?
How can we come into this world,
knowing death is before us,
I’ll never know.
When we get emotional,
people ask the same question.
When am I alive?
When I laugh, I think of every time
I laughed before, putting that moment in with the others..
I’ll never know.
Harmless little children,
laugh, anyway…
When am I alive?
I hope someday, I
can finally laugh … like a child.. I guess
I’ll never know.
How can people look at each other,
and instantly tell each other about themselves?
When am I alive?
I like the way, but don’t understand,
how people talk like they know what they’re talking about…
I’ll never know.
I hate how people curse and spit,
at the sound of someone’s name..
When am I alive?
I like when people
laugh at jokes, but I don’t get it…
I’ll never know.
When am I alive?
I’m not sure, when do people cry?
I’ll never know..
