I feel old sometimes
Like a blossom trapped between pages of a dictionary
A dictionary that had been left in the attic for years.

I feel young sometimes
Like a kitten that plays with it's toy on the floor
A kitten that never knew that there was more to life outside the house it lives in.

I feel hated sometimes
Like a blister bubbled on the bottom of your foot
A blister that you have to deal with for the rest of the hike.

I feel loved sometimes
Like tasting chocolate for the first time
A chocolate bar you received from your love on Valentines Day.

I feel ***** sometimes
Like how you feel after a day at the beach
A day at the beach that you still didn't shower after you got home.

I feel clean sometimes
Like that feeling you get when it rains and you're standing in it
A rain after the hardest week of your life.

I feel alone sometimes
Like when you're surrounded by all your loved ones but you don't exist
When you seem to go unnoticed when all you wanted was to be seen.

I feel claustrophobic sometimes
Like when you're trapped in an elevator with too many people
Trapped, when all you wanted was to be alone.

Sometimes I wish I didn't feel
But if I didn't feel
I wouldn't be me
And if I wasn't me
I wouldn't feel.
