The Strong One
i've always been
the strong one
my whole life
i must've been
‘cause people said so
a thousand times
i thought it was
a compliment
it felt like praise
until one day and
after many years
its own true nature
was finally revealed
as being all but
favorable to me
not meant to motivate
designed to bind just
as a verdict would
once pronounced strong
it is forever so and
room for weakness
there is none
so when it's time
and all that strength
is growing dim
beware i warn you
don't let it tell
'cause no one
can imagine
such a thing
and no
one
gives a
damn
