Do You Ever Feel [Poem]

Do you ever feel like you are lost
Never again to be found or to return
Do you ever feel like all your dreams just burn
Right in front of you, no matter what the cost

Does it ever seem
That you can never feel or catch your dream
And doesn't it always seem, in others eyes or your own
Like you don't even belong in your own home

Do you ever feel, that you failed all the ones you love
Do you ever feel, like you could choke on your thoughts
Do you ever feel, like your ship had sailed long ago
Or that you could sink into despair, and drown into misery?

Sometimes it all seems heartless
You can't grip tightly onto the harness
Of a life that you once knew, of a life that you envision
Well come on, carry on; those wheels no longer have a form or composition

Oh, do you ever feel, like you disappoint yourself, and those you know?
And that no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to go with the flow
Like every little thing just doesn't go your way, no?
Well isn't that always how-whether or not you like it-it always seems to go?

Do you ever feel like this: like you can't do anything right
Like you could disappear into the night, never to return
All facts of reality give you fright, well after all it's your plight
To have no confidence, but you make it no one's concern, or so you think

The people push and shove, and you can't look up to the one above
You wish you could disappear, and be rid of all this fear
But you know it's not that easy, and that not everyone you can please
Isn't that how it always goes, no matter how you feel?

Well do you ever feel, like you're a tourist in your own mind
Your heart's betrayed your eyes, pulled your dreams down every seam
And now there's nowhere for you to go, nowhere for you to run
And it feels like there's no end, and you can only ask yourself: "What have I become?!"

End
