All In My Head

 A loving person or at least I thought
          It's been said more than once that I'm not
          When you here these things a million times
          I think, are these your words or mine
          
          A terrible place to be put in, I know
          But then again I guess that's how it goes
          To be loved one minute and hated the next
          A person like you, what do you expect

          To feel like there's not more you can handle
          It goes from forest fire to a slow burning candle
          No more answers from life you can grip
          Like a waterfall that slows to a small steady drip

          My head that is spinning, will it ever slow down
          I once felt like a queen but now where is my crown
          A crown is exquisite, embedded with jewels
          I'm stuck with the one that says "only for fools"

          To be put in my place it's been said I should be
          Is this what life is or is there more for me
          To be marooned on an island, not discovered by one
          Would be my life's quest, or has it already begun

I'm not sure if I would call this poetic or more just that I rhyme some words together. Either way It's just my feelings put on paper and makes me feel better when I'm done. Thanks for the chance to allow me to do this :).
