I go from day to day hiding from what is inside
No one I can find to confide
The weight on my shoulders, the pain I hold ...
I try to be brave, to be bold
It seems to others that I am stone cold
Everything I was taught, as a person, as a soldier
to keep my fears and pain in, never compare
I do nothing more than survive, to be here
I want to live, to show I care
Though I am little, no one there
By my side, I am in fear
That no one will ever be here
Some say there is someone for everyone
for me though there may be one
I cannot tell, the fear hard to overcome
my secrets if I reveal, she will probably run
Away from me, to shun
I want to tell her, though I fear
She may get hurt, may scare
Neither of which I can bare
My secrets I should share
But I do not want her to bare
To take care of her, protect her
that is what I want, just to be there
To show her love and compassion
