A Poem by Review

Do you know 
how many times a day
I feel like crying?
I feel like screaming?
I feel like curling up into a ball
tucked in a corner
and blocking out the world?

Do you know 
how many times a day
I feel like hiting? 
I feel like biting?
I feel like putting 
all my sister's stuffed animals
through a shredder
for fun?

Do you know
how many times a day
I feel like saying no?
I feel like rebelling?
I feel like running
away from home? 

And

Do you know
How many times a day
you tell me you love me?
And every one
of these
lonely
feelings
fade to

I think this is a very relatable piece, since almost everyone has felt like this one time or another. I especially like the form of this and how the ending word is spaced out. It's one giant question that seems to be both literal and rhetorical. Both answer by some people and answered.
Very nice write.
