Stop Playing With My Emotions

My happiness is not a guitar which you can freely pick the strings.

My sadness is not a carnival game in which you throw some rings.

My distrust and anger are not blocks you can stack,

And my excitement is not an arcade game to see how hard you can whack.

My loathing does not bounce up and down on a string thats white.

And my empathy and sincerity aren't rockem robot fights.

You can not roll, monopolize, spin, jump or sell the feelings that I feel.

Stop playing with my emotions there not games, but they are real.
