Trapped Emotions

I can’t cry, for I’m too sensitive

I can’t smile, because they say I’m too positive

If I cry, I am too emotional

I can’t share my thoughts, for I am too delusional

If my emotions are trapped,

And my feelings remain wrapped,

How could I survive?

In this judgemental world full of self-centred lives

I can’t be angry, I can’t be free

When will I unveil the real me?

I can’t feel sad, I can’t feel bad

So can I feel glad, in a world that is mad

This world has become a place where everything is controlled

And the seriousness of emotions remains untold

No one has the courage to unfold their wings

As the judgements of society sting

Thus, if my emotions are trapped,

And my feelings kept unwrapped,

When will I ever unmask?

And when will I raise my voice and ask?

 

I am not ready to reveal myself yet

I am so concerned about people that I haven’t even met

If I express so much, I am weak

If I don’t I am unsympathetic

I can’t cry, I can’t feel bad, I can’t get angry, I can’t feel sad

Then, how the heck am I supposed to stay right in the head?

Why should I hide my tears?

And why should I contain my fears?

Is confiding your emotions a humiliation?

Can I ever seek redemption?

In this world where emotions are meant to be trapped

And feelings to remain wrapped.
