Judgments

I wish I could express my emotions
I wish people could understand
I wish people knew
I'm not crazy

I wish I could tell people how I feel
Without being mocked
Laughed at
Insulted

These are my feelings
I can't pretend they aren't
I can't claim to be happy
When i'm sad

I know that's what people expect from me
They expect me to keep quiet
To push my emotions away
To hide them

I can't do that
I can't pretend to feel something I don't
Or to act in a way that pleases other

I wish people could understand
I wish I could make them understand
I wish they would let me express myself
Without judgment

this was awesome work, loved this. we all have to remember that everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion and just because someone thinks differently that doesn't make him/her stupid. in fact how many inventors/scientists who were laughed at because of their work, went on to revolutionise our world? lots of them. it's great you're writing this one and just remember that their words can't stop you from rising above them all. great job

Nice write Sarah.
Keep writing, and expressing yourself, and don't worry about what other people think about you.

[Calypso]

I feel the same. Sometimes when I tell people how I feel it seems like they never listen.

Don't let them stop you at all. Write for yourself. Don't try to please or impress others. Let yourself be free.

Keep expressing yourself in honest terms Sarah , show them you are not afraid of opinion and their labels . become an individual
