Who Told You To Be Strong

Who told you to be strong 
When you are not okay
It is okay to cry 
let those bad feelings go away 
Who told you to hold your head up 
When you are feeling down
It is okay to cry 
You do not have to hold inside
Who told you to be strong
Smiling, but your smile is not real
Who told you to be strong 
It is okay to feel what you feel
You are not wrong 
For not being strong
We have to deal with pain 
Before we move on 
And when someone says 
Stay strong 
Just know that it is okay
Not to be strong today.
