i say i don't

but i do

you do not see those tears

or how it tears at my very being

nor do you care enough to look

deep inside me

i feel as everyone does

i am no different

so why do you treat me so

i am capable of being weak

we all are

it can be tiring

trying to be so strong

to be honest it drains me

hiding these tears

do you really not see

how you break me?
