Emotionally Accused

What’s so wrong with emotion?
Anger. Sadness. Empathy. Tears.
Is it so wrong to show your heart
From the inside out?

Emotions, they run thick through my blood,
I show my heart through my eyes.
Empathetic, sympathetic.
I react to the moment, and the pain.

Words they cut and slice,
My thin skin has years of scars.
Tears have left rivets on my face,
And emptied my mind.

My soul has been burnt,
Stung by your witty arrogance.
My fault for feeling this way,
For caring for more than myself.

Is respect based on being a jerk,
Lying with disguised motivation.
Artificial ideal of intelligence
Forced ego and fake charisma.
​
Is it my curves and my size,
That makes you doubt me?
I tower tall, and my hair is big,
But I have talents, skills.
