Being Strong Is Not For Me |

Losing my control My world quietly becomes dizzy Everyone thinks it’s okay Everyone thinks I can handle it When all I need is a helping hand to reach out for me A hug is all I ask for Someone to talk to But yet, everyone thinks I’m fine I’m too strong for those things Tears that are falling from my face aren’t mine They are someone else’s tears They belong to a stranger Because someone like me can’t shed tears I can’t pretend to be strong anymore I try to stop my world from getting out of control Only to pause it for a while But the process beings again The madness starts again When can I breakdown? Taking a break from being strong? When can I be a little girl again? When my world is falling apart I always seem to become stronger Facing the world with a strong grip Making it whole again Something I can’t do anymore My grip is becoming weaker I have become vulnerable Suddenly I face the world With tears streaming from my eyes These tears are mine, I yell I can’t be strong anymore I can’t fight this any longer And wiping these tears from my face I look down And quietly walk away I can’t be strong anymore |

no one can be strong all the time...it's ok to cry, it's ok to need to lean on someone else for a while....this made me wish I could just hug you and let you cry for a while...I'm so sorry you are hurting... (((hugs))) |
