LAYLA'S WORLD
BEING IRRELEVANT BITS AND RELEVANT PIECES OF LETTERS FROM LAYLA,
WHO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT WHAT YOU THINK UNLESS YOU'RE REAL AND COOOL
I have feelings
just like you
I want the same things
you do
I get hungry
just like you
I want the same things
you do
but the world says
NO
loud and clear
I can cry all night
no one's supposed to hear
I can starve for affection
I can die going wild
but no one's supposed to help me
cuz I am a child
but I have feelings
just like you
I want the same things
you do
I get hungry
through and through
I have the same needs
you do
but the world says
NO
don't you dare
let me cry all night
pretend not to hear
let me starve for affection
call me too high strung
but no one's supposed to touch me
cuz I am too young
I'm too old to be held in your arms
I'm too young to be taken seriously
just as I'm waking up to these feelings
at a time when a week seems like an eternity
I'm told wait a few years - a few years?
and you want me to respect you fools
when I know your rules are based on your fears
you couldn't compete so you hide behind your rules
and you say
NO
well fuck you, you don't really care
I say - who cares
that I have feelings
just like you
I want the same things
you do
I get hungry
just like you
I want the same things
you do
I want to be loved
just like you
I want to be loved
just like you
NO!
(I Have Feelings)
