Emotional

Emotional

I rise, I fall
I've been through it all.
So open, so real, 
Do you know how I feel? 
You asked about my emotions,
My emotions are my devotions,
My time, my energy and the fact
that i care,
It's the reason I'm here,

Maybe I expect too much
for what i give,
I give it all, It's how I live.
How else am I supposed to be?
What does everyone want from me? 
Should I be empty and unreal?
Should I pretend that I don't feel?

You want me to be tough. Is that it?
Well I've been there and it ain't me
one bit.
I've found myself, discovered me,
I'm emotional, and dammit i'm free!

I can relate to this one too. I am emotional and cannot fit into someone's standard of what they want me to be. Good job!

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
