Being Strong

I am tired of being strong day in and day out

I am tired of being the one who gets the broken heart

It always starts great and everything is going my way

Then the same line is told to me time and time again

You do not want a relationship right now

You just want to be friends

I sit in amazement

I sit thinking, "how can I be strong one more time in my life"

Here I am doing it all over again

Holding in my true feelings

Bottling everything up inside, till it bursts one day

I am tired of being strong everyday of my life

Seeing you makes me weaker and weaker

I cannot let you see how weak I truly am

What kind of person would I look like if I could not handle being friends with you

You make it so hard for me when you act as if nothing happened

I am hoping deep down inside that you are weak, and that you are trying to be strong for me

I am tired of being strong just for you

I am tired of being the one who is pushed around and has to act as if it is all okay

If you are trying to be strong for me you do not have to be, admit that you are just as weak as I
