I Must Be Strong

I feel the darkness closing in on me

I know I should push it away,

But my light is fading.

I'm the moon not the sun:

I mirror light not produce it.

I don't want to go back,

But how else can I be strong?

I long for nighttime without the loneliness

My heart feels pierced and squeezed,

But no tears ease the pain.

I can be strong...

I will be strong...

I must be strong...

But how?
