If I Can’t Look at You
You say that you’re
Strong
But yet you cry in front of
Your child
You say you’re not
Afraid
But you hide when
Things get tough
You say you love
Them
But you complain
All the time
How can I know
How to be strong
If I can’t look at you?
How can I know
Not to be fearful
If I can’t look at you?
How can I know
To love?
If I can’t look at you?
