I can feel my tears trying to escape,
I want to let the tears go,
But I must not.

Tears show weakness,
I must be strong,
Strong for my family,
Strong for my friends,
Strong for everyone but me.

Tears show emotion,
I must not let others know how I feel,
They must not worry,
I must not be a burden,
I cannot cry.

I shall not give in
And do what they expect from me.
Even if I feel hopeless,
I shall keep that tear
Deep inside my heart.

I want to be someone people can rely on,
Someone people can talk to easily,
Someone who looks like she can do anything,
Someone who’s friends with everyone,
Someone everyone likes,
Someone who is brave and have courage,
Someone that who replaces the real me,
Someone that never show their emotion or weakness,
Someone I want to be.

The tear shall disappear along with the real me.
