I am strong, I have always been.
It's what I should be.My friends are sad, and my family is stressed.
They have no clue what is going on in my mind when they are struggling.
I am dying. I want to.
How long must I hide this from others.
No matter how much I want to tell others of what I have been through
It just not right.I must be strong for
them.Like they need me to lean on and I have only myself.
