How do you feel
How do you feel anger, when you won't allow it to feed? You don't attempt to digest it, give yourself the release you need. How do you feel joy, when only hollowness prevails? Existing is what you do, when life for you has failed. How do you socialize, when alone is all you need? when behind the doors is safe, no interaction is now your creed. How do you feel anything, when its all been stripped away? Placed somewhere deep inside, away from the light of day. How do you explain all this, to those that walk not your path? When to them it is so easy, to feel, live and laugh.

This is very relatable to those who understand what you have penned. The last verse speaks volume.
