Do You Feel Like Me - Poetry by Yolande Matthews

Do you feel like me tonight?
Are you also tired,
missing home...
Just like me?

Do you want to be
in that special place too
where no one
can bother you?

Do you want to be there...
where happiness grows on trees
and no one laughs at you
when you make mistakes?

Do you also just want
to get away from this place
go somewhere
where you can be free?

Do you feel like me...
with heartache in my heart
and tears streaming
down my face?

Do you also want to pour out your heart
talk to someone
that understands and can give advice
who will listen and comfort you?

Do you also just like me...
want to die softly
Do you also...
do you feel like me?
