Why Can't I


Why can’t I be angry?
Why can’t I be sad?
Why can’t I have any emotion?

Why can’t I be the slightest bit proud?
Why can’t I have a smile that reaches my ears?
Why can’t I say I don’t like this?
Why can I not have any emotion?
“You’re arrogant” if I am at all happy or proud about something.
“You’re too sad” if I had a bad day.
“You’re too happy” if I had something good happen.

Why can’t I be anything but everyone else’s rock?
Why can’t I be emotional at all?
Why can’t I have feelings, emotions, conditions?

Why must everyone else insist I put them and others first?
Especially when none of them put me first.

But hey, what are friends for?
