Act Strong

No, it's not just about my guinea pig's death. That's just an example.

Tears fall down my cheeks,
While I cry over my guinea pig's death.
I don't make much sound as I,
Act strong.

My head racing,
"Kill yourself! No, STAY!"
I hide everything from my mom as I,
Act strong.

Lost in the mess,
Shocked by reality.
I pretend like everything's sunk into this thick skull as I,
Act strong.

Everything looks alright from the outside,
But is falling apart and torn on the inside.
I pretend to be alright as I,
Act strong.
