there are times that I don’t feel like smiling
so I ask you not to ask me to
I don’t want to chain you up in my feelings
don’t make me something I’m not and can never be
but don’t accuse me of anything before you see me
don’t shackle yourself to the wall of premonitions
don’t think you have all the answers
don’t think you can cure all the cancers
because there are some things
that were born without wings
and they don’t have to fly
so don’t make them try
I won’t remind you to laugh
or cry
I won’t tell you what to do
or why
I won’t accuse you of things that are lies
so don’t shackle yourself to a wall of blind eyes
don’t see things before you’ve opened the door
so much you know, but you could know so much more
and you could feel like never before
If you don’t shackle yourself to a wall
But once again, I won’t tell you to listen to me
I’m just listing the possiblities
Keep your own ideas and I’ll keep mine
I won’t bother you another time.
