I hate being strong
Unable to break no matter the pressure 
I don't have time for it. 
I'm never allowed weakness
Or failure
Nothing can be despaired 
Or mourned
Or even struggled through 
I must stand like a bridge
Battered by the raging flow
Still and unwavered
But filled with hidden cracks 
Within its cold steel.

Through floods and fires 
Chaos and turmoil 
I must not falter
I must be a father
A lover
A man. 
But as a man I am weak
And I despair the bleak
And troubled days ahead.
