Holding back the tears,is like holding back a waterfall
hearing bad news and pretending your okay is like falling off a cliff and thinking you'll survive
i keep pretending im strong i tell everyone that nothing is wrong!
i smile and laugh to hide the pain
when i really just want to let it all out!
so now your wondering then why .....why dont i just cry why dont i let the waterfall fall and why dont i just let my self grieve when i hear bad news why am i living in this big lie...... or maybe im just afraid to cry!
