The strong crumbles
by Rommel CruzI'm not as strong
As my clothes suggest
As the harsh words that I speak
As I'd like you to think.
At night, alone in my dark empty room
I cry for past mistakes
For heart-wrenching hardships
And my decaying friendships.
I crumble down to my knees
Backed helplessly against the icy wall
Searching, hoping to break my fall
Praying for strength to save my shattered soul.

| Posted by Anne Engelen on 11/15/02 at 07:54 AM Yeah that's what we do alright. Pretend to be okay, holding up seemingly strong to fall apart when we're alone. Well written!! |
| Posted by Matt Forget on 11/16/02 at 05:34 AM Oh how I can relate to this one. Nice job well done on this. :) |
| Posted by Quinn Vokes on 11/16/02 at 01:53 PM I agree with Anne. It's definitely when we're alone that our true selves come out and we can't help but break down and cry. Well done* |
