Don’t shut me down I want to be heard Write my feelings, my desires Even though they don’t line up with your mature thoughts Don’t call me wrong because I may be afraid Don’t shut me down or hide me away As you would a deformed and disfigured child Kept in the basement so none can see her shame Kept out of the light hid away from the sun Labeled with black covered with night I want to play I want to laugh If you won’t release my hurt and validate me My joy will be buried under secrets unsaid Quit sweeping my essence under the bed Heart feelings are made to blow through your soul Not be stifled and stunted so you feel in control I am the core of who you are delight in my moods Accept your great innocent weakness you mistook as a flaw That weakness is your strength It is your depth Embrace your humanity so your spirit may soar Laugh and cry open the door of your heart my Love! |
