I’ve Never

I've never felt happiness

That ripples through my bones

Pounds in my heart

And shines from my smile

I've never felt sadness

That keels me over in pain

Drives a knife in my heart

And leaves salt trails on my cheeks

I've never felt anger

That sets a fire in my chest ablaze

Makes me see red

And curls my hands into fists

I've never felt foolishness

That makes me lightheaded

Makes me think anything is possible

And drives away all common sense

I've never experienced hope

That lifts up my heart

Lightens my steps

And brightens my day

I've never experienced hatred

That curls my lip

Turns my head in disgust

And makes my eyes look down on another

I've never experienced love

That fills your heart with joy

Fills your head with fantasies

And drives all other thoughts away

I've never experienced heartbreak

That shatters your heart

Rips apart your self esteem

And eventually builds you back up

I've never lived...
