*Strength*


I am strong.

I can hold it in.

But once I'm behind closed doors,

I loose it.

I don't hold it in.

I ley it out more then I should.

And I return the next day.

A smile on my face with it.

I say I'm happy.

I say I'm fine and that 

I wasn't crying.

Lies aren't so bad.

They let others feel relieved.

And I guess that's a good feeling.

Another one I would push down.

I'm just here to, at the very least, be heard without having people around me giving me sympathy. Don't get to caught about what my poems mean. I don't rhyme. I don't stick to a theme. I write when I need to get something off of my chest and that's it. I don't take the time to use a type of poetry so just deal with it. These are my stories and my life.
