I have to stay strong

*_I have to stay strong

_*Sometimes I feel like
I could cry, like I
Want to die
But I just can't
I was a girl who was
Brought up not to cry
To be strong
And now I've learned to
Keep my emotions buried
Way inside of myself;
Afraid to let my true feelings
Out, because then the
Truth would be known
But in the midst of
All these lies
I'm learning to survive
With this heart I'm stuck with
A heart that has been
Torn in two
It has been cut up and bruised
Gone through too many
Bitter ends
But I have survived
Survived the hurt
The pain
Yeah, but I've learned
Because I have to stay strong.

    I know what it means to stay strong and focus on whats ahead. I was always told little soldiers don't cry, but let me tell you something it has messed me up physically, but mentally I will always be strong. Thank you for those wonderful words GOD'S BLESSING AND GRACE UPON YOU AND YOUR FAMLY LAURA

    Nice Job

    Staying strong is very important,you explaind why its hard to but a necessity to do so in this write.I think your best part was
    Torn in two
    It has been cut up and bruised
    Gone through too many
    Bitter ends
    it sticks out and gives a reason why to stay strong.The lesson you promote here is also good about surving because you are strong and have learned from yoor mistakes.Great Write
