POEM: COVER UP

On the outside I appear strong
But there are times when I cry
I'm like anybody else
I hurt, I have emotions

But I have to keep them in check
I have responsibilities
I have obligations to keep
I cannot breakdown

I have to do that when I'm alone
When nobody's around
That's when and only then
I can let my guard down

I do hurt, don't think I don't
I feel it everyday in this lonely house
The walls closing in on me
The silence reminds me I'm alone

I sit there trying to break
This depression I'm in
It will take time, a lot of time
And every now and then I still cry
