Hush!

It's OK you are weak,

Humble, afraid, and meek.

Just keep it all inside you.

Don't let it ever reek.

Don't dare you show to people,

The scars that make you cripple.

For they'll just put salt on them,

And make you feel more feeble.

Just act all calm and strong,

As if there's nothing wrong.

Hide your tears behind a smile,

And sing a happy song.

Must bear your worries tight,

Like the armour of a Knight.

Don't let anyone get the wind,

That something is not right.

For if you are buried in pain,

It's you who stand to gain.

It'll make you bigger, better,

If you walk its crucible lane.

Just be sure it's only you.

Not even your trusted few.

Who knows the fear inside

Don't raise a cry or hue.
