Costly Feelings

[Brokenhearts]

Costly Feelings

My life- spinning out of control
My thoughts- unsightly
Clutching at the seams of my mind
Holding my body tightly

I want freedom
I want my home
I want my body
Don’t leave me alone

Feeling caged and trapped
Feeling confused and lost
Having difference
Has a cost

I don’t to lose
But if I lose all this
I’ll be estactic
As life takes the piss

People who surround me
They all have things to say
I don’t want to listen
But life just doesn’t work that way

Feeling caged and trapped
Feeling confused and lost
Having difference
Has a cost

Though I lower lashes I watch them
My insides loudly screaming
For them to leave me be
Yet they all carry on teasing

I hate this emotion
The anger inside boiling
My heart about to burst
My soul slowly spoiling


Feeling caged and trapped
Feeling confused and lost
Having difference
Has a cost

Yes I am detatched
There’s nothing for me to hold
I gotta make it on my own
As my life has been sold

I’m not me at home
I can never be
I want to be noticed
But it’s me they can’t even see

Feeling caged and trapped
Feeling confused and lost
Having difference
Has a cost

So for now I’ll give up
For now I’ll stop trying
I’ll take control of me later
And I’ll carry on hiding

I am different
That’s me as I always knew
This might be the cost
But… I’ll see it through

"I don’t to lose"

Missing a word?

Ooh, this stanza is really cool:

"I don’t to lose
But if I lose all this
I’ll be estactic
As life takes the piss"

Cool poem, in all. Poetry is a great way to express feelings, and you did very well. The first stanza was a little rocky in terms of flow, but it's quite a the poem.
