I take my emotions
and I throw them in the trash.
I take my emotions
and I say you can have them
i don’t want them back.

It’s my bad habit
i lock all my emotions in a cage.
One filled with lost love,
blindness, and rage.

I take my emotions
and I throw them away.
I take my emotions
and say you can have them
i don’t want them not next week,
not tomorrow,
not today.

Leave them locked in that cage.
