I don’t hold my emotions inside.
At least, not all the time.
I let my tears fall,
Just not in front of you.I wait until the dark of night,
When I’m the only one around,
That’s when I let my tears fall.
Just not in front of you.
After all, I can handle this.
I have enough strength,
Not to let my tears fall.
Not in front of you.
You have enough burdens,
You don’t need me to add.
So I will not let my tears fall.
Not in front of you.
So though my face is a mask,
One that sometimes slips,
I do not let my tears fall,
Not in front of you.
And though tears stain this page.
Know I am strong enough
To let my tears fall
Though it’s not in front of you.
