human


who gets to tell me what makes me happy

why must I be happy because theres nothing to be sad about? 

or must I only be sad when bad things happen?

sad is an emotion

people have emotions

i am a person

i have emotions

why cant i have emotions?

why does no one let me have emotions?

why are my emotions wrong?

whos to say what i can and cant feel?

no one should tell me what i can and can't feel

my heads all messed up like my emotions

i cant think straight because my heart is broken

i have given the world to people who didnt deserve it

i have given up every part of me and now i have nothing left

i have no emotions left to feel

i gave my happiness to a girl who didnt have any

i gave my heart to a girl who sold it to the devil

i gave my hope to a boy who was hopeless

nothing has been left for me to keep

nothing but tears are in my eyes

all hopes been lost 

all happieness has been destroyed

my heart has been ripped out and torn apart

my saddness is all that is left

so forgive me for being sad when im suppose to be happy

forgive me for having emotions

forgive me for being human
