I do not cry in public eyes
That I just will not do
I have to continue to seem strong
Yes, strong and true

To cry in front of others
To let my emotions come into view
I cannot do that
Because once I start, it will be an ocean to swim thru

It cannot happen
The dam cannot be breached
For if it does it will show
Show that I am nothing more than human, weak

Do not get me wrong
For yes I do cry
I just do it behind closed doors
For that is my safe place
A place to weather all my storms
