Maybe I'M a Cornball

My friends call me a cornball.
They think I'm such a nut
just because I speak my mind 
and say it from my gut.

If I'm happy I will tell them
'Oh man, life sure is great! '
But when I'm sad I make a point
to just communicate.

My heart has been an open book
for as long as I could speak.
I feel the need to 'get it out'.
Does that make me a geek? 

Go ahead, call me a cornball.
That's good enough for me.
I just can't hide my feelings
but, that's what makes me... ME!
