As I lay in the bedroom, My own personal confinement' in which I oh so willingly created for myself, I feel myself on fire, My hands shaking out of utter frustration, fighting every tear welling up in my eyes with all that I have left of my sense of mind, But for what reason? to be strong, to reassure myself, I ask myself what use is it to be strong if your utterly alone, With no one to care weather your strong or not, So I let go, but just for a moment, I allow myself to remember the pain, the memories I locked away, hoping someday they would cease to exist, The troubling feelings that twist my heart and bring me to my knee's letting out slow puffs of breath I calm my emotions, wipe the water from my eye's , clear the tortured expression that once lay on my face, I leave the moment and enter back into the world I made myself believe in, I pretend to be strong.
