Is it a compliment to be strong?

I think it's not that and it's wrong.

If I am strong

do I have to ignore my feelings?

They think I am like steel

  and will survive and cope with any drilling.

If I am strong

I'll be able to overcome all those shrill feelings.

Is it really right to be strong?

But what should I do with my feelings?

It's so painful to be strong.

Why should I suffer all those hurts and pain?

Though I will never complain

if I am strong.

And I repeat again: If I am strong

it means I don't need help

and love is not important to me? Oh, damn!

If I am strong

it looks so comfortable for others.

If I am strong

should I forgive a lie?

If I am strong

there is no place of treachery in my life

and I will never listen to falseness.

If I am strong

it's so painful. Am I right?

I wouldn't like to fight

I will just say: if you betray

get out of my way!
