Hard, Cold Steel
You see my face ...
Not an indication of the great Pain
I feel
ONLY
The outward signs
Of Strength
And Success.
I
HAVE Been
A Hard, Cold piece of Steel for so long
That I find it hard at times
To KNOW
Just WHO I really AM.
When
one is strong on the outside
How does she show a need on the inside?
IT
IS NOT
Enough to hope
That you would dare to look within
I must take Action.
Can you see ... that I just did???
