All my life I had to be strong <br />All my life I had to stand on my own <br />All my life I had to protect myself <br />All my life...it was only me <br /> <br />But now… more than often <br />Tears start to swell up <br />As they roll down my cheeks <br />These warm tears I can no longer control <br />It’s as if they wanna burst outta me <br /> <br />I can't be strong anymore <br />I don't know how to be anymore <br />This pain within my chest <br />This unbearable pain <br />It's crushing me from inside <br />Please give me a minute <br />I need to let it out <br />I wanna cry <br />I want to cry <br />I can't be strong no more <br /> <br />My body <br />My mind <br />My heart <br />It's full of bruises <br />Bruises of all I had to take in <br />I don't know how to be strong anymore <br /> <br />I need to cry... <br /> <br />Who will come to my aid <br />Who will hold me <br />Who will dry my eyes <br />Who will fight these battles of mine <br />Just for a minute... <br /> <br />No one... <br />Cause it has always been me… <br /> <br />(c) Leasel Martins<br /><br />Lizelle 'Leasel' Martins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/behind-the-smile-11/
