I try to be strong,
I try to be tough.
Then maybe life for my parents,
Won't be so rough.
So I keep everything inside,
Pretending my tears aren't real.
Going day by day not even thinking,
About how I really feel.
The nights are the hardest,
When in my mind all I see is you.
Picturing your cold body,
Knowing you didn't pull through.
I long for these emotions to go away,
I want them to disappear.
But no matter how hard I try,
They are always here.
