I never feel rushed

Or pushed

Or determined

 

I never feel lucky

Or small

Or important

 

I never hurt the ones I love

Or care about them enough

Or care about myself

 

I never feel happy

Or discouraged

Or confident

 

I never feel satisfied

Or young

Or exhausted

 

I never feel normal

Or worried

Or absolute

 

I never feel numb

Or one thing

Or a hundred

 

I just feel me, but its not enough.
