E-Me-Tional

You said I was emotional.

But you have me all wrong. 
I write what I’ve felt,
what I still think sometimes.
You made it seem 
that people like me
shouldn’t be who we are,
and it’s people like you
that inspire these lines.

You sit atop of your horse 
mocking those below,
but let’s talk about 
what you think of yourself 
when the crowds are all gone.
What do you really hide
behind that plastic smile.

You fault me,
for expressing that I feel.
You snicker,
at the depth to which I deal.
You judge,
as I wonder where 
your perfections lie.

You said I was emotional.

And the people 
who get me as well.
I’ve lived through my pain,
learned to banish my hell.

I feel for you.
That’s why we’re here.
