You're Not Strong?


I can’t speak the words

You so badly want to hear

 

And I can’t make it go away

But I can ensure you have help here

 

You think you are weak

When I know you are strong

 

Showing your true feelings

Will never be wrong

 

So please take this moment

And learn from your pain

 

In truly dreadful situations

Comfort you may gain

 

It is hidden way beneath

All the grief and tears

 

And will help you to stand tall

To face your fears.

 

So please never doubt

The strength you possess

 

Crying a little does not mean

Of a man you are any less.
