Throughout It All

Never want you see me weak

I must stay strong

You haven't seen me bleak

A vibrant smile among the throng

Never lost, a winning streak.

"let's get this fixed" you won't look

Straight to my eyes, you are

Every bit of a calm, you don't

Deserve discovering my pack

Better a ton, if not just pile, of lies.

The mask has been blown

All the frowns shown

The eyes long to see

Our glory days long gone,

There is not a trace.

"let me take you from here

You are tired, dear

Take a break from the world

Rest more than you're told

You may cry, we all do, even the bold."
