TO BE STRONG
To be strong means you have to hold back. To be strong means you can’t show what you think or feel To be strong means you don’t have pain To be strong means you can’t have a weakness.
Through  violence, abuse, war, and blood. Since when did this mean strength? It’s very likely that the strong person is going to be the one who is most confused, lost, and going insane. Because not only does that strong person have to be a rock for themselves but they end having to be a boulder for everyone else. The strong person just becomes the screws, nails, and glue that keeps everything together. Through all that absurdity, the end is the most upsetting. The strong person leads their self to not being able to fathom their own existence. That’s when they lose who they were to being strong.
I hate that to be strong means you have to hold back. I hate that to be strong means you can’t show what you        think or feel I hate that to be strong means you don’t have pain I hate that to be strong means you can’t have a weakness. I hate that to be strong means you have to hide. - Alma D. Gonzalez
