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.
