the familiar sting of tears touches my eyes again
a testament to everything i'm holding back within
but i won't let these tears fall, not today you see
because i'm stronger than the emotion that's overtaking me
the familiar sound of truth calls from the other side
something of a wide, deep love is waiting as my guide
but i'll continue to ignore it, saying it's not for me
i'm fine just sitting right where i am, it's where i'll always be
the familiar sting of pain wanders through my head
the roots of every thought come from a single thread
i try hard not to listen or acknowledge it at all
i'm stronger than the hurt they cause, i won't take the fall
the familiar signs of brokenness are all around me now
but i've been there too many times before to venture back there now
see if i have to be broken, that means i have to feel
and feelings only mean one thing: and that is to be real
the familiar sting of tears wells up my eyes once more
but they won't go spilling over as in the times before
i'm stronger, i say, much stronger than the mountain standing tall
...the irony of the whole silly thing is i'm not strong at all.

Awesome. I had literally crawled into bed when I remembered I needed to find this poem by you. I'm glad I thought of it. Thank you for sharing such raw, unashamed emotion... I really do appreciate it.
