The Pain Of Being Me

Strong

I act like I'm fine
Now I don't look weak
I pretend to feel better
When I still feel sharp pains
I put on that pretty smile
That everyone says they love
So I can help them all be strong
Because they say I protect all
They'll never see me weep
Over words I never say
They'll never hear the truth
On why I feel this way
Because something like that
Could never happen to me
But I swear to you it happened
Can barely stand on my own feet
But none of you will know this
Because I show no pain or fear
Just because I may seem strong
Doesn't mean I'm not afraid
