My Words

Do my words affect you?

Do they comfort as they should?

Or do I need to do more?

What do you need from me?

Do you need tears?

Do you need me to shake?

To tremble and fall?

To wail and scream out?

Or do you want me to smile?

To stand through it all?

Do you want my eyes to glow?

To laugh and shake with glee?

Emotions, aren't my cup of tea,

I have a voice, yes, but strong it is not

And often I have been tossed aside,

So please, be gentle with me

I need explanations, 

I need to be taught

How to do this right

How to do this well
