Tough-Untough
an emotional rollercoaster
for weeks i can be so tough
because i know i am so much better off now
i am resilient, i can get through anything
but then my exterior slowly cracks
allowing the tears that were so carefully hidden deep to leak out
i cry, not because i'm weak
but to let all this built-up pressure out
the frustration of raising my son with no financial help from his dad
the pure anger of my ex having my two year old around his sixteen year old girlfriend
what the hell, she is a kid herself
i know i'm strong, i will get through this
but that doesn't make the road any smoother...
