What Do I Feel? Poem by Heather Yarbrough

Sometimes I feel nothing in my life
I feel like no one cares
And no one loves me the way
I thought at first
I wish I could figure out what's
Going through my mind
Do I really feel this pain?
My feelings I have to find.
Is it all in my head
Or do I really feel this way?
I tell myself lies
To make everything look okay,
Make everyone think
It's just another day.
My feelings I hide
locked away
I lost the key.
With nothing left to say.
I hope I figure out
What my heart really feels
So I know what to do
To help myself live
A better life.
