How Do You Feel? Poem by Kelsey Joe

How does it feel
To run around happy?
How does it feel
To be all carefree?
While she's in the bathroom
Staring at her knife
Hoping that maybe
Soon she can end her life.
It's a twister of reality
Many things run through their minds,
They dont know the way to go
So they all laid in bed and cried.

How do you feel
When you kiss him goodbye?
How do you feel
Watching him slowly die?
He was heavily drinking
To make him not so sad,
But in the end he didn't realize
That the consequences were so bad.
It's a twister of reality
Many things run through their minds,
They dont know the way to go
So they all laid in bed and cried.

How do you feel
Knowing she's suffering?
How do you feel
As you watch her slowly fading?
How do you feel
Watching her cry at night?
How do you feel
Now when you fly your kite?

She wants to watch her blood flow from her wrists
He wants to clear his head and just figure it out,
She held knives and razors in hand while sitting crying in her bed
He had some vodka right next to him while he just was in so much doubt.
She didn't know why he left her side,
He didn't know tonight was the last time he'd see her,
She didn't know he felt pain too
He wished that he would have knew sooner.
Maybe then her pain would lessen
And he'd feel better with her hand in his,
She wouldn't be struggling even more
And he could kiss her scars and she'd be free from this.

Feelings can hide easily
They all need some escape from life,
Their lives are so uneasy
So they find a way to feel alive.
It's some sort of injury
To cause themselves to feel in control,
Because even if it's a regret today
Its a way to make the pain dull.
