My emotions are always on public display
As if they're a movie for you to watch, analyze, and decode
I suppose you could say I wear my heart on my sleeve

Many people don't understand this
For their emotions are locked in heavily guarded fortress
To which only a select few are allowed access

I attempted this for a time
It was not long before I realized it was not an option for me
For my capability to achieve what I wish
Depends on my ability to feel

Once one allows themself to completely let go
They are able to create something in the hearts of those around them
And slowly pull them out of their fortresses
And ever closer to their sleeves

So I suppose my ultimate goal
In everything I do
Is to force others to feel

And draw out of them
What I so openly express
