Why Do I Feel I Have To Be Strong?Why do I feel I have to be strong all the time? And why won't I show any tears? I think it's because I'm not expected to, I can't show anyone my fears! If I show my weakness to anyone, Then they will worry and fret, And that's one thing I won't put them through, I'm not prepared to do that, just yet! So I lie in my bed and cry alone, Hiding the tears from my eyes so wet, I sob to myself, cry it all out, So next morning I'm ready, and set! Set for the start of a brand new day, No sign of weakness or tears from me, I have my mask in place, my smile just right, So no-one can see inside the heart of me. Why do I feel like I have to be strong? I'll tell you shall I, explain why? It's because if I show my tears or fears, It will cause my family to worry and cry… They think I'm tougher than any other, They look to me to always be strong, But in truth, I'm just human you see, So I cry, Is that so very wrong? Well for now, I cry alone in my bed, For I can't be seen to be weak…! Because soon I will be back on form again, Then my future won't seem so bleak! Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem |
