In The Name Of Being Strong

In the name of being strong,
Pretending nothing's wrong.
Always wearing a smile
While your heart plays a sad song.
In the name of being strong
Never let them see you cry,
Never let them see the pain within
Even if you have to lie.
In the name of being strong
you cannot let her in.
No matter how much love she gives,
Your heart, she cannot win.
In the name of being strong
Here you sit alone.
Those who tried to love you....
Pushed away.......
Now gone.
In the name of being strong
No longer able to fight the tears
No longer able to ignore the hurt
You've carried around for years.
In the name of being strong
You cry, exposing all of your grief
Yet somehow in the midst pain
Your heart finds relief.
In the name of being strong
With no words left to speak
Realizing that being strong
Means accepting that sometimes
You are weak.
