It seems

When growing

You must always be strong

I didn’t shed a tear

When you left

Cause that’s not how it should be

I was raised strong

To never betray an emotion

To never show fragility

To never show anything

So when you left

I guess that hurt

But at best it is a guess

Cause sometimes I look

In a mirror

And wish I’d never grown strong

I wish I’d grown fragile
