Feelings Locked Poem by SarahLaney Long

Why do I have all these feelings locked deep inside of me?
Only to bang on my heart to be released, to be free
It's the feelings of love, fear, hate, confusion, and hope
To feel like I'm being pulled along by a rope.
Why do people like to play with my emotions like they do?
To lead me on to think that they love me too.
Am I just a toy?
A toy that likes to be pushed and played around with by a boy.
Am I just a roommate?
That can be stepped on and feel like there's no escape.
What have I done to deserve such confusion from you all?
When I try to call to give encouragement to call to find answers to all this confusion, you just don't answer or you screen my call.
I'm not just that blonde girl that can be pushed around.
Better realize what you are doing before it's too late.
Can't you see I'm not as happy as I used to be,
So please Lord all I'm asking is to SAVE ME!
