Yes I am Emotional
I am not strong...
according to your definition.
You even call me irrational,
an illogical beast
always needing a leash...
Well I am tired of your leash.
I am sick of acting cool,
Putting facts before heart.
Don't tell me to smile and say everything is okay,
When deep down I burn with grief.
"Hey!" I am sick of appearances.
When down, let me cry.
I only ask for your shoulders.
When happy, let me scream.
I only ask that you do not stop me.
When next I cross the line,
When next I do not conform,
When next I deviate,
When next I am myself.
I only ask that you
do not look down on me.

What would life look like if we are only logical and regard emotions as fickle. Emotions are powerful if channeled properly.

I survived the larger part of my life with LOGICAL -- giving the emotional very little precedence.
As a diagnosed schizophrenic who tries to live without Gov't medications this is as good as it gets for me.
But i DO understand what You mean in this spill
