it'll be OK

I don’t think there is anything Wrong, with not showing emotion I think it’s ok if you hide Your inevitable devotion If you don’t cry at funerals And you refuse to fall in love Don’t blame yourself, and Don’t scream “Why?” at God above. If you can’t handle caring And are uneasy, with conversations If “I love you” causes fear And your sick of anticipations You’ve obviously been hurt And are afraid of repetitive actions So you’ve built yourself an armor But find yourself the object of infatuations People get stressed out You won’t let them close to you You can’t explain what it’s about Then they find themselves inferior to you One day someone asks... “Will you spend your life... Constantly running...from your emotions?” You sit here ..voiceless You’ve been cornered now Your plan is going to fail It’s no longer okay to hide When tears fall, you can’t bail But they understand your pain None of this is your fault You don’t have to avoid situations You’re able to unlock the vault The emotions can come out You can blame your parents… From birth till now It’s always been the same They didn’t teach you to love Nor did they show it to you Because of this you were scared You still have wounds left to heal.
