Sand

My life is like a sand castle on the beach.

It stands tall in the day, when you can see me....

You see confidence, strength, beauty.

But at night when the tide comes in...

I come crashing to the ground, crumbling underneath the pressure.

I wasn't made for this.

Why do I have to be the strong one? Can't I show my emotions?

But I fear if I do, you yourself will turn away....

So I don't.

And I hide it all underneath a smile.
