Some may call me heartless
Others say it's not true
 I say that you just don't know
All that I've been through
 You might think it's odd 
That you never see me cry
 That when sad things happen
That I can pass on by
 It's not a front or fake
I'm not trying to be tough
 There has just come a time
That I've said I've had enough
 After so many deaths
And losses in my past
 I don't let these things
Stop me in my path
 You may see it as strange
Unusual or even wrong
 But in my heart I always say
That I am only strong.
