Who Taught You?

Who said your worth is the words of others. Who taught u that u have to hide your feelings with lies. Who made us think saying "I'm fine" Is better than saying the crime.. Hidden inside? That crying was a sign of weakness. To be strong meant to play along? That if we spoke or showed emotions, Everyone would flee? I don't remember younger us before the world became more dull at the age of 5. When our brains decide to develop the part of reality. We didn't have to hide. We cried extra loud to show we are not alright. Who taught us that to be strong Meant to lie about what's happening inside? That silent cries and late nights Are better than asking for help and guideness. Well it's all a lie ,every single part is a lie. It's okay to cry and not be alright. Its okay to need a helping hand Or even a kind friend. So tell them ur not okay , don't always be the strong one that everyone leans on sometime be the one who leans.
