Hide
Hide
Don't show your hurt
A lesson taught very curt
Don't show your pain
But I question the gain
Shove it under the carpet
Lest the world makes you the target
Subject of mockery you would become
Media hype will not heal the wrong done
Hide your pain, hide your fears
Hide your strain, hide your tears
Hide the real, hide the scars
Hide the ordeal, hide the chars
Why are we always taught to hide
Display of pain, gets remarks snide
Justification for this is inane
Why is it so tough just to be humane?
