Fake strength hides real tears
I never fought back
I always took what I was given
Afraid that if I snapped
There'd be bodies needed hidden
I keep my cool
Let others stand on top
Allowed them their victories
Knowing that it will stop
A bully feels great
When his victim is broken
But the real victims are them
Their damage is already spoken
They pry on the weak
And pretend to be strong
Relying on a facade
To stop people proving them wrong
I've spoken of acts
And theirs is just another
They act out against others
And hide their damage under covers
It's sympathy I feel
For those to weak
To admit they are scared
And to openly speak
Though as sorry for them
As I do truly feel
I still have to laugh
Cause they think, fake strength is real
So no, I won't hit you back
I won't give you the striking
You probably need
I'll just keep reciting
I'm stronger than that
So I'll continue to take
All that you have
For I'm to strong to break
