Why Must I Feel

Why Must I feel?
How do I repair?
What is Love?
Is it even there?

Am I human?
I feel different
Demons staring me in the face
But it feels like they're in the distance

My heart beats, but why?
I don't have a reason
I've felt more sadness than happiness
Old wounds still bleeding

She's gone, I've dated since
But I still miss her
Kill them with kindness
So I show love in my poetical words

I feel sad
I feel angry
I feel mad
I feel happy

I feel confused
I need help
Depression leaves me abused
I hide from myself

This poem sucks
It's nothing special
I'm trying to make it
I won't settle 

Tomorrow comes
Yesterday goes
Crying from the pen
To overcome today's woes

Why Must I feel?
How do I repair?
What is Love?
Is it even there?
