Shutting it out

Shuting my emotions out,
not allowing myself to feel,
closing myself,
hurting myself.
The truth is I am weak,
all I do is I act tough,
pretended that I was strong.
The truth is I want to cry my heart out,
I want to scream so loud,
but I tell myself 'I must be strong',
'I need to be strong all the time'.
'Never show any weakness,
never ask for help,
never trust anyone',
I've lived this way 'till now.
I'm so weak that I find myself pathetic,
I still want to cry,
but I cannot show that to anyone,
I cannot let anyone see my tears.
If there was someone who'd hug me,
and tell me that it's alright,
if there was someone that would be by my side,
I wouldn't cry alone anymore,
It would've healed my scars,
It would've erased my pain,
It would've saved me from the dark.
But the truth was there is no one...
I cannot show my feelings,
I cannot be honest with myself,
because if I do,
I would no longer be able continue acting tough,
I couldn't continue pretending that I'm strong.
