I don't feel like me today - A Poem

I've had a few words rolling through my mind over the last few weeks. Words that I once thought could be a poem and I wrote down, but they didn't quite seem right. I've had another bash at them over the last few days and I hope that if I share them with you now that maybe you'll read them and understand the feeling I was trying to convey.

Just so you know this isn't how I feel right now, I've just had these words circling and needed to get them out.

And if not, maybe you'll just think it's pretty or something.

I don't feel like me today

I don't feel like me today.
I feel like the little girl that I used to be,
The one I thought I had left behind.

I don't like the rules that someone else has made,
I was tricked and didn't know what I picked,
those rules have put me at a disadvantage.

I don't want to play this game any more,
It's just not fair, I'm sure of it.
I don't like the hand that I've been dealt.

One day I'll look back and laugh how I felt this way.
Forgetting just how bad I feel today.
But for now I don't feel like me today.
