My Emotions Don’t Work Right

I was so excited to see you that I jumped for joy and squealed But when I ran to greet you You backed away in fear

I didn’t understand what you said I tried to be happy for you But I didn’t feel anything So you got up and left

I wanted to tell you I love you So I found the right words But when I spoke them to you You pushed me away

I don’t know why I’m this way My emotions don’t work right But someone will understand and accept me the way I am
