Feelings

short tempered and strong 
stuck In a place I no longer belong 
trying to move on

such a scary past 
now ending at last 
moving on fast  

get to work put on a show 
hold it in keep yourself under control

trying to leave cant hold it in for long 
let it go don't cry move on 

they tell me crying is for the weak 
they say be the bigger person turn the other cheek

this is what I say 
I say 
cry 
I say get it all out 
I say don't hide


I say let the person know and see and feel exactly what they put you through
let your feelings be revealed 
only then you can move on and your mind and heart can be healed 

people feel they hurt they hate they love and heal
don't ever tell a person not to be human 
cause that's exactly what we are 

be proud of it show it off
don't hold it in and blow it off 

short tempered and strong
 in a place I now belong 
I am human I am me 
I'm exactly who I seem to be 
I let it go 
ill let you know 
direct is what I do 

don't tell a person not to cry not to laugh giggle
 sigh 
we are people we bleed and feel we are people only our bruises heal
