Feelings
by Dina Andrews

I'm angry because you won't listen to me!
I'm happy when I'm sipping tea.
I'm angry when there's no end to war.
I'm happy when the Arsenal score.

I cry when I watch a sad movie.
I laugh when you say funny things to me.
I cry when children are starved or abused.
I laugh when you look at me confused.

I'm scared at night when I'm on my own.
I'm calm in a bath of bubbles, ahh sink down!
I'm scared of no one loving me.
I'm calm mid chaos, a smile is free.

I'm shouting because I want to be heard!
I'm singing, I love it like the song birds.
I'm shouting at the children being so naughty.
I'm singing because I'm so happy.
