Stand Strong Poem by RACHEL ZARANTONELLO

Perceptions changing everyday
I see you smile & I look away
I want to show you what is real
For you to see how lost I feel
In my life, the pain is always here
So I hide away, inside my fear
Of loving you & letting you inside
But I can't give into the love this time
Please forgive me, if I am wrong
You'll be safe, If I'm alone
Can't find a way you can love true
My sadness only makes you blue
You can't love me the way you should.
I push you away for your own good
It will not change, how am I wrong?
Alone I can't hurt if I stand strong
Now I'm free to lock me inside my hate
I'll fade away, I must accept my chosen fate
Noone hears this tragic song I weep
I must stand strong, never let myself be weak
