Feel Me

Feelings are something I can not possess
Everyday they're less and less.
I can not mourn when family die
I just sit there and pretend to cry.
All I ever wanted to be
Was as normal as I could, for you to see.
I've never meant anyone harm
Its not easy keeping my mind calm.

A place to fit in was hard to find
I'm just stuck here within my mind.
I dream of a day of just birds and the trees
I know that my soul would ease.
I may not feel, but I feel what you feel
I feel a woman's love
It fits me like a glove.
But what I can see is that is not my destiny.
Forever alone I must be.

What to do and who to ask
Has become a hard task.
I've always hated the things that I done
At the time, I thought them fun.
To understand you must see
That there's more than one of me.
The voices in my head, hatred they spread
And lucky for you, I'm not easily led.
I know its my fault because I drink and I drink
Jump in my head and see what it takes to think.
Lector, Cooper and Sheen
All those I could have been.
