You don't have feelings

You need to be a man
Men don't cry
You need to be strong
If you show your soft side, others will think you're weak
You're not a girl, boys don't wear makeup
Take that dress off, dresses are for girls
And cut your hair, it's way too long
You want people to think you're a girl
You can't be this and live in this house
Terrible things that were once said
Fucking with my head again
Self-doubt and low self-esteem make me stop believing in myself
Big girls don't cry
You need to show the world that we girls can be just as tough as men
Why the baggy boy clothes?
Do you not realize you're a girl?
Why do you want short hair? Your hair should be long.
You're such a tomboy.
Instead of asking why and telling others what they should and shouldn't do
Let me ask you some questions
Why does it matter?
Why is it an issue?
Why do we tear down others and make their business ours?
Do you not realize that your words are causing scars?
Like razor blades shifting each and every way and leaving a trail of blood
No one notices it until it's too late
Words of "Why didn't I see this?" or "How come I didn't know?"
Well, how could you know when you're judging the very person you said you were supposed to love
The very person who is a part of you
The person you decided to disown
Your fake words mean nothing to them
Why couldn't you care when they were still here?
Terrible things that were once said
Fucking with my head again
Self-doubt and low self-esteem make me stop believing
Alone and afraid, always on edge
Do I have a friend who will help lend a hand?
Sometimes it feels as though I don't
So I hide away my feelings until I become numb to the pain
Don't worry about me, I'll be okay
Once I get rid of all of the pain that's surrounding my soul
Then you'll see how fucking important you were to me
And if not, then you can go fuck yourself
