“You are so strong, it is a gift”
“You don’t let your scars be revealed”
No. I fought hard in silence,
sometimes I fought while screaming,
I fought through every challenge,
sometimes I fought even during smooth sailing,
I built that strength brick by brick,
It wasn’t delivered to my doorstep,
I sometimes feel I am just holding a stick,
In the sea of tears I wept.
“You are vulnerable, quite sensitive”
“You don’t handle a joke well”
Yes. Because I refuse to be dismissive,
Of the disrespect wrapped in fun,
I would rather choose my emotions
than stand to your expectations and be a swell.
“You can handle it all alone”
Yeah and I wish I never had to,
I wish I had someone trustworthy enough,
I hope I had a soul to look forward too.
Its the letting down of people in my heart,
that I choose to carry it all alone,
because I can not be disappointed for trying till I last,
and that is better than being with people and still feel lone.
