Staying Strong


I wake up every morning with a smile on my face. And I'm not quite sure how, but it stays throughout the day. Even though it kills me not to say your name, I stay strong, I carry on. Everyday I get home and the mask falls away. My weak head bows and I begin to pray That I get through this, that I live to fight another day. And I stay strong, I carry on.
