I am trapped In one emotion Happiness I am not allowed to feel anything else I will be punished My rights stripped away Let me feel without the punishment Let me be mad Let me be sad Let me feel betrayed You need to hear my side of the story You need to let me speak my peace You need to listen for once You need to see past the smile to the frown Just once see through me See the things I am too scared to share I need to express myself I can no longer be happy all the time I need to show who I really am I am a person who hurts I am a person who cries I am a person who yells But also allow me to show you my pure joy Don’t judge me when I dance Or sing Or tell a joke Don’t judge me when I laugh Or smile at stupid things Just let me be who I am Let me be me
