I feel...

Location

I feel your hurt as I listen to you yelling, and your soft sobs

I feel your anger as you spill your problems and the blame onto me

I see your desperation to find your way out as I look into your eyes

But-- don't forget you're not the only one in this room

I exist no less than you do

I feel pain no less than you do

Look into my eyes-- look to see who I truly am

I carry everyone's burdens hoping I will soon mean something to someone

I feel weakness as everyone demands more from me with no appreciation received

I feel anger knowing everything I do will never surmount to anything

But most of all I feel hurt that no one will ever know the true me

The one who has wanted nothing more than not existing

The one who has attempted different techniques to leave our planet

The one who has learned that she cannot count on anyone but herself

And because of that, I have lived and will live for my own successes

For that, I feel pitty for you because you will no longer be of importance.
