Masquerading as a Strong Man

sighing heavily as i lay here

sighing to myself

keeping it to myself

letting no one hear the desperation in the exhilation of my breath

they cant know how weak i am

they cant know how much pain i am in

they cant hear me cry

they cant see the saline tears slide down my cheek

they cant see all this because i wont let them

because all they see is the strength i put into disguising how weak i am
