Poetry Book: Songs from the Heart [COMPLETED]

strong? nah. brave? maybe.

Why don't they believe me?
Understand all I've been through
I wouldn't wish this on anyone
But they're always saying what they think true
They just don't see

I'm struggling, it's hard to believe
How strong they seem to think I'll be
But no matter what happens to me
They expect me to stay positive and strong
But what if I'm not the one?

I feel like no one believes me
Or understands what I'm going through
And it seems like no one cares
Because no one dares

They don't want to get to know me
Sure, they act like they do
But that's only when I'm around
Then, I see the truth

You can try to understand
All I've felt and what I've been dealt
But it's hard to accept
The darkness I've come adept with

You may think I am not as strong as you'd like
But I'm not some little tyke
I'm not in my first round for this fight

But take a bow, take a bow
You know me somehow
And since you clearly know what's best
Embrace your new role and quest
