The Rock

Strong on the outside,
breaking on the inside.
I'm the shoulder you cry on, 
the wisdom you depend on.
Strong and wise, 
it's all on the outside.
If you could really see,
how the world takes a toll on me.
Only then will you see,
I'm a hero to you 
but I'm a victim of discord's siege.

Another person cannot know what is on your inside unless you are honest with them. Interesting thoughts put to pen. Keep writing. Sara
