Can I wake up and know it’s just a dream; <br />That sadness and heartache <br />Is not meant for this who is called me. <br /> <br />Today do I need to put a smile on my face <br />And pretend all is good and all is right? <br />Not say to one and all everything is fine <br />That this day is nice and bright. <br /> <br />Can I take this cold enfolding my heart <br />Replace it with warmth covered in laughs? <br />Do what I need to say <br />Not break so many hearts? <br /> <br />Can I lie in your arms <br />And my tears be my charm? <br />Will the touch of your hand <br />Catch me now as I fall?<br /><br />Jennie Nel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/today-can-i-not-be-not-brave-and-strong/
