I Want To

I want to write but I have no ink I want to paint but I have no canvas I want to sing but I have no voice I want to dance but I have no music I want to smile but I have no joy I want to love but I’m incapable of love I want to be free but I am in restrains I want to dream but I have no goals I want to fly but I have no wings I want to see the rainbow but I have become color blind But most of all I want to cry but for some reason I have no tears Alexis Y. 6-20-16

Love the joy in your tears poem, Alexis. I think you expressed the sadness some people feel w/such realism, it hurts. Wonderful poetic artistry. Love always.

Hi Jan, At the time when I wrote this I was feeling really low but that all changed when I heard this song. I will take a cyber hug anytime. Thanks for your continued support:-) Alexis

Wow, Alexis. This is so sad. I hope it's only a poem and you really don't feel this way. You are a very well respected and loved person. You have a gorgeous heart and I'll bet a million dollar smile. Hang in there:)

This is such a sad and heartbreaking piece my friend. I can feel the sorrow and the loneliness in your words. I can only hope that this is fiction and just your wonderfully creative mind hard at work.
