. . . Feelings

Are no good excuses for things that make people weird

like being a woman and feeling like growing a beard 

so when feeling in love with someone

makes me feel like i am no one

to them

so i lift my long dress' hem

and walk sadly away 

as if i was never around that day

and i feel like 

nothing is real like

i could jump off a cliff

and then become a stiff

like nothing really mattered 

my lifeline would become tattered

and i feel like not too many people would care

as if i was never really there

so i don't like to feel

anything truly real

'cause when i think that i do

something happens and they never had a clue

how much it killed me 

but i'm glad they wouldn't see

how long i would die

so i will sit there and sigh

until i have to fake my smiles

so i can keep them satisfied for miles

and feelings are stupid

and i know what i did

but nothing goes the way i wish

i might as well be a rotting fish

in the middle of a shark tank 

cause you made my heart sank

i stop trying to really truly feel

especially things that appeal

to my inner happiness and 

i know that everything will end

opposite the way 

that i want them to stay

everyday feels like a daze

living in a legitimate haze

and i just want to cry

i wish i could fly

away from this land

'cause i can't stand

to keep up this lie

about wanting to die

so i can grin

but it will feel like a sin

and i will laugh

but it will only be half

of what a normal person does

and now just because

i won't smile as much

or i won't laugh and such

doesn't mean i'm sad

it doesn't make me mad

i just don't feel like being me

and i wish that someone could see

how death is my escape away

from my boring life day to day

and i want to escape my life

with a swift jab of a knife

knowing my future isn't as bright

even if i had it in sight

because that's not where i'm living

because i'm still just quiv'ring

in this world i am forced to call my life

and i know i'll never be a good wife

'cause this world has nothing for me

and i see how worthless i can really be

so the longer you read this

the longer you heed this

you can't help but feel sorry

because that is a mortal folly

feelings are too much for me

and i just want to be free

from the heartache that you

gave to me without a clue

and i feel like i could just walk down to hell

and then i could just yell

how fucked-up my feelings are

then i'll be too far

that you won't hear

my feelings about you, my dear

no matter about all the i love you's

and i could never choose

between my two loves

like mismatched gloves

so i will bottle it all

and just let myself freefall

off of the earth

the place of my birth

and i will watch everything slip away

as i watch you stay

and i'll watch you say

i love you i miss you

and i will too

but no one would know

how far away i'd go

so as i fall deeper into this abyss

i see a small light in the growing darkness

then i see two

and then a few

and i realize

that i really died

and your love was true

and there was nothing i could do

i float aimlessly away

as you continue to stay

and my feelings are still strong

even if some of them are wrong

i could try to make this a melody

all about you and me

but it wouldn't end the way i want this

and i will try to be dauntless

but my fear would only grow

as the endless midnight crow

harvests my soul and heart

and we grow apart

so now everyone will see

what i think of me

and i will tell them

everything will come to an end
