Off
I'm suppose to be strong,
To rise above my fears,
To turn the other cheek,
And take the beating.
Told tears were weakness,
Don't show emotions.
Plaster the smile back on
For happiness is strength.
It doesn't matter that I'm alone
Right?
Trusting only one,
Everyone else… I was broken by everyone…
It doesn't matter. I don't…
But to keep going.
All I need is strength today, tomorrow.
I'll just cry myself to sleep tonight.
