False Bravery
How should I tell the world the sadness I have been feeling?
There is no refuge for weak and tears
That I shouldn't face the world with visible pain
The world is cruel
That's what they taught me
To dodge bullet and knives
Don't let it pierce through your heart
All my life, I have been dodging
And now, I just have to settle in finding shelter
Hide in barriers when I am weak
Put an armor when I cry
Or stuck to being strong, even when I'm not
And they say, the world is cruel
But aren't they cruel enough?
They put me into thinking that weakness has no place
When in fact, false bravery has been my pain
That pretending has been my weapon
And secret is gonna be my death
And they'll be sorry for not knowing
And regret my loss
But they brought me the pain, they want me to avoid.
