I am tired<\/span><\/p>\n

Angry at you, at myself<\/span><\/p>\n

But not anymore!<\/span><\/p>\n

I am not the same as you<\/span><\/p>\n

of voicing out what I feel<\/span><\/p>\n

So listen now when I say<\/span><\/p>\n

loud and clear<\/span><\/p>\n

My emotions, my feelings<\/span><\/p>\n

are not for you or anybody to judge<\/span><\/p>\n

Good, bad, positive, negative<\/span><\/p>\n

they are a part of me<\/span><\/p>\n

Of my story<\/span><\/p>\n

Of my heart<\/span><\/p>\n

The proof that I am<\/span><\/p>\n
