I press play to listen to my favorite song.
A smile softly curves my lips
I feel a light erupting from my soul, and I open my mouth
Instead of a scream, I begin to sing
I feel happy, free, self-confident
Then they tell me to quit singing
I don't want to, but I must
For all these dirty looks arestaring me down
I close my mouth and sing no more
They don't know what they did to me
My happy feelings desinigrated with my self-confidence
They are replaced with horrible feelings
Sadness,caged,andworthlessness
I don't know what to do now
I curl up in the corner and start to cry
Frustration, hate, pain
I begin to wonder why there are so many bad feelings versus good feelings.
Greed, envy, lust
I'm broken up
Music is my life essence, my one care, my soul, my laughter, my love
And so I turn the music off
And I am dead inside, where everything really counts
