Ash S. Poet Rhyme

Stronger Than I Should Be

I stand in crowds but fade away,
No one asks if I’m okay.
Not because they wish me pain,
Just because they never strain—
To wonder if I need a call,
To check if I still stand tall.
They assume I’ll always be,
The silent force, the steady sea.

But I am tired—don’t you see?
Of being strong so constantly.
Of speaking last, of stepping back,
Of giving all and keeping lack.
Just once, I wish that someone knew,
That I am human just like you.
That I could break, that I could fall,
That I need someone too, that’s all.
