I have to be strong for other people. This is all that I know. I cannot, must not, break down in front of another human.   My pain takes a backseat to theirs. Cast aside, on my own comand. I still feel the pain, however. And when I'm alone... Sometimes, when alone, I remember. I break. I hurt. Then I walk out. Ready to take on another person's burdens. (d d.b)

Willingly But With Consequences
I have to be strong for other people. This is all that I know. I cannot, must not, break down in front of another human.   My pain takes a backseat to theirs. Cast aside, on my own comand. I still feel the pain, however. And when I'm alone... Sometimes, when alone, I remember. I break. I hurt. Then I walk out. Ready to take on another person's burdens. (d d.b)
