Sharp as a knife

Emile 2003

Narrative
Emotions, sharp as a knife
They cut deep, they hurt deadly
Sometimes your skin, sometimes your heart
As pale as they sound, they also give rejoice
Yet Wish I felt no emotion, neither owned a heart
But beware, without your knife
You're no different than a rock

About this poem

This is a poem regarding the fact that emotions are what makes you human, yet they have the ability to make you hurt and sometimes you wish you didn't have them. again, I am not happy with poem because it was just the start of my poetry era.
