My tall and proud stature
Belies my eggshell interior

Every order knocks me down and me deeper in my rut
And no matter how many times I make a show like I can just hop back up
It's all, "You're a goddamn grown-ass man, now, so why do you act like little punks?"
But we're not allowed to be truthful, 'It's because that's the way that you treat us!'

I don't know how long I've felt like this but it seems to have lasted ages
On the outside this shit doesn't phase me but inside I'm writing these pages
I guess it's been slipping through and I've been showing my weaker side
It seems that when I'm silent is the only time I haven't lied

People have asked if I'm alright, and when they do I almost choke
But I get back my calm, "Yeah, dawg, I'm fine (Now crack a joke)"
Yeah, you would sit there and tell dirty jokes when you should be real
Too much of a little pussy bitch to tell anyone how you really feel

Just because I feel like crying doesn't mean I can't stand tall
Shit, I should have a fucking Oscar for some of the cons that I've pulled off
Inside I want to scream and wail and cry but to prevent their awful staring
I have to stand there silently and keep my military bearing 

I want to be able to stop lying to everyone that stands tall with me
Because I have no idea how many of us there could be
That feel the same way that I do, but are just better at hiding
I really need to do something, I can feel my grip is slowly sliding...

Encouraging the self, you stood tall in the piece. Felt the emotion there and your piece is explicit. Good ventilation

I see that I've been away too long. This piece is amazing. I love the way the emotion just jumps off the page and into the mind.

your words see through me like a transparent window. spent so many years building this stature of solid resistance yet deep inside am as fragile as fragility can be.outside am an image of stregnth but inside am broken and shattered, therefore the best coment i can pass here is MAN ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME!,cause it sure sounds like me
