Always wearing the tough guy hat Showing others the tough wall that she has built Making them believe that nothing and no one can break through That the wall is made of steel When in reality it's being put back together with cheap duct tape each night
At nights, she cracks She can't hold it in anymore At nights, she is most herself Broken, but her true self. No masks no putting any shows, just herself
She can't understand what she's feeling and that is killing her Who are you supposed to understand and know better if not yourself?
She kept finding herself leaning toward wolves and their stories People fearing the howls not realizing it's a cry for help Perhaps she could relate Perhaps both are misunderstood by others and themselves Not knowing who they are and who they should be Only knowing comfort under the moonlight
As the silent tears find their way down her cheeks She sleeps at night with few answers Only to wake up with more questions that she cannot find the answers to She keeps waking up more confused than the day before Making her wonder: "is this all that I am? Is this all that I can be?"
