Emotional

I've always been emotional

I've always had big feelings

and even larger dreams

an inner yearning to

actually do something

to help the whole world.

I've been stuck in this place

where my thoughts, my ideas,

my dreams, and my feelings,

are not important.

I'm so tired of living that way

I'm so tired of

"Are you okay?"

just being a surface question

to make sure I don't

express any emotions.

I want to feel love

and passion and fire

I don't want to feel useless

I don't want to feel like

all I'm good for.

Is laundry and dishes

and money. Paying

and paying and paying

My bank account is empty

I have nothing but my words

and I'm not sure how far that

can take me. Because even though

I'm strong, and courageous

and resilient,

I don't know, if I can

get through this

by myself.
