Do You Feel? Poem by Desiree Whitamore

how do you feel? when you see me standing alone, all by myself.
i never thought that i'd have anyone else
i never had to complain and i never had to say
that i need you, 'cause you needed me to.
how bad is it? do you want me to stay here, do you want me to be there?
i never thought that life would be so unfair.
if it was up to me,
you would see
that i'd rescue you
if you would rescue me.
i'm not carrying the weight
i'm not waiting for fate.
i won't do it, you'll just have to see this.
i'm too young to be strapped down,
to be kicked around
i won't take any more lies, no more fights.
its gonna be me this time.
i can feel it, don't you want it?
