Always Strong

My dad, my sister, and my brothers cried
They all cried when my mother died
All of them they cried in pain
For what we lost we can never regain

I miss her as well but I didn't show
They told me I could and I told them I know
I knew the fact that I could cry for her
When I didn't they thought I was in denial for sure

I told them I knew she was dead
And I knew she died in that hospital bed
All of them looked at me and said alright
They thought I held a different kind of might

She wouldn't want me to be sad
My mom would want me to be glad
Although they thought I was strong
I knew they couldn't be more wrong

I put on an act everyday of my life
This is just to hide my strife
No one knew that I cried myself to sleep at night
This wasn't what they thought was might

My dad, my sister, and my brothers too
They think that I am strong, but they have no clue
I hold it in until they are asleep
This is only when I weep

Would in be better if I cried in the beginning?
Instead I chose this and am not winning
They think of me as brave
This is though I've never been to her grave

Mom I miss you and still love you down here
I hope you know even if I do hide my tears
I know you know that the rest of them also love you
For Dad, my sister, and my brothers miss you too
