Strong For You
I'm strong for you, keeping it all inside.
And even on my darkest days I'm surprised I still hide.
I build a brick wall to sheild out the pain.
And put on a mask so you can't see me in vain.

I'm strong for you, because you need me more.
I make sacrafices to my friends I adore.
I'll be your support though my legs are still weak.
There's something you can't see, a part of me that's meek.

I'm strong for you, I won't let it all out.
I protect your eyes from my insides that pout.
I don't want you to see and I don't want you to feel,
what I'm going through underneath cuz it's real.

I'm strong for you, yet there's something you don't know.
The direction I'm headed is not always where I go.
And believe it or not everything that you say,
plauges me to in an unexplainable way...
Yet, I stay strong for YOU.

Now that you need her but you don't
So there you go!

We are the leaders of it all" - DEFTONES

I used to be that way. I still am a little. I take pride in my strength and I'm sure in some way you do too. It's oke to need someone to lean on though.   Anyway, great poem Missthang. I enjoyed reading it.

Be kind, be true, be bold, be you.

Freedom comes when you learn to live unafraid.

Nicely done here MissThang. I enjoyed this poem by you. Thought you wrote it well.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I can't determine whether your being strong for this person is good or bad.  But most of the time, it's better if we are just being true and real.  You must have reasons why.  Thanks for sharing
