●●●why do you want me to always be positive?
why do you want me to smile all the time?
why do you want me to tell jokes?
why do you want me to be funny?
why do you want me to always fit in?
why do you want me to think about good things in life?
why do you want me to look at the brighter side?
why can't you just let me do what i want, feel what i want?
why can't you just let me behave like i want to?
why can't you just let me feel what i feel?
why can't you just let me be?
let me feel what i feel
let me do what i want
let me say what i want
let me think how i want
and please
don't force your happiness on me.
