Let me be myself
Trust my judgment
My emotions are real
But not your burden

Is it so much to ask
We can laugh anytime
What about sorrow
It is waiting for us

If my eyes spoke
They only offer hints
My voice does not
It will tell you now

Maybe I’m lost
Should I fill the forest
With sound as I walk
Or is silence my calling?

I don’t like pain
But it’s so strong
I’m awake each night
Reminded only of love

Standing alone now
Watching others cry
I think I’ll join them
We'll laugh again later
