When things get heavy,
we are taught to stay strong,
building up walls,practicing self defense
Shoulders up,fake smiling aloud,
be kind and look pretty
glancing through life, feeling somewhat proud.

little did i know, it's okay to break down, grow through the pain, get up and move right along, the hurt, they say, it doesn't last forever, and putting on that facade won't make it any better.
