Strong Willed

She's Strong Willed as she holds back the tears What had just happened was one of her worst fears She never thought this day would come The day she would have to burry a loved one Yet she carries herself as if she's battling the cries Even though the pain inside still lies She pushes it all down so no one sees That the hurt puts her to her knees She hides it all behind her smile Not knowing all the while That everyone can see what is really going on They know none of her pain is really gone She will pretend she isn't upset at all Even though the world around her is beginning to fall She doesn't want no one to know how it makes her feel In fear of talking might make the pain real She is strong willed but doesn't know That her pain really does show
