The Feeling Within Poem by Tiffany Baldwin

I wish I could tell you what I feel when I am around anyone but me.

Its true... I feel every emotion they are feeling, at that moment you see.

I must say at times it is amazing, other peoples emotions dancing through my skin,

The love, the excitement, the comforting energy that flows deep within.

But, I am here to write for a reason, to let all the pain inside out,

If not for my words to write you see, I'd be lost without a doubt.

I feel like I am lost, lost somewhere mixed in with all of you,

I can no longer tell which are mine anymore, which emotions are really true.

There are not enough words in my vocabulary to describe what your feelings are doing to me,

I wish you could keep them to yourself sometimes, stay out of my bubble and allow me to be.

I won't blame you, because I know, that it is completely out of your hands,

This is something that I would never wish for.. It was never a part of my plans.

It's not only the joy and love inside of anyone who comes close to me,

There's also the fear, the hurt, and the pain, I'm ready to run and flee.

I feel it all from good to bad, I need to learn how to turn it down,

For fear of my own emotions getting lost, they are quickly beginning to drown.
