Feelings

I like to feel happy
i like to feel sad
i like to feel feelings
the good and the bad

People might question
why i feel how i feel
i'm not sure exactly
but feelings feel real

what would life be
without loves without hates?
what would we look like
with no mental states?

I have the power
to enjoy what i please
I'll dislike what I want
despite who disagrees

But there are some situations
in which i can't choose
those who can or can't hurt me
my very own views

In fact even sometimes
try as i may
i can't help but to care
about what people say

but it's just certain people
who can make me care
who can make me feel weightless
yet so self aware

theres always one person
who gets in my head
who can bring me to life
who can make me feel dead

i'd jump through ten hoops
if it means he would smile
these feelings can be hard
but are often worth while

these feelings are good
and when he feels them too
the world will seem brighter
the world will seem new

mutual feeling
are the best types of all
but when someone stops feeling
worlds crumble, worlds fall

I'd rather feel happy
i'd rather feel sad
i don't like not feeling
not feeling is bad

to feel is to live
to live is to feel
i love to feel feelings
it's how i know I'm real
