I Cant Be Myself

I cant be myself, people tell me no, I cant be myself, why I will never know, I cant be myself, therefore I wont smile, I cant be myself, so I will leave for awhile... Dont hug, dont show your smile, dont show your expressions, People might think your gay, dont hug too long, count to ten, Dont smile, dont touch anyone, dont show your happy, You cant be caring, dont be too sappy... I cant be myself anymore, who can I be? I will be cold, shivering alone in the cold, dark, world, Will someone come and rescue me? I cant be myself anymore, my arms are tired, my hands are cold, Oh, how I wish I had someone to love me and hold, But I cant be myself anymore, who will keep me up? Maybe I should just give up....
