I Cannot
I cannot fly if you tie down my wings,
And then push me over the edge.
I cannot sing if you make me scream,
So loud I lose my voice.
I cannot listen if you do not speak,
And expect me to do as Iām told.
I cannot play if you lock me up,
Then forget I even exist.
I cannot live if you make it difficult,
And if I do not have a reason.
I cannot smile if you do not make me,
Why would I if I am not happy?
I cannot laugh if you do not let me,
Because then I have done something wrong.
I cannot trust if you do not teach me,
So teach me, but be patient.
I cannot love when your heart is closed,
So love me, and let me love you.
Maybe then I will no longer say I cannot,
But instead, I know I can.
