I HAVE ENDURED PAIN. I AM NOT BRAVE.

ARE YOU SO STRONG AS YOU MAKE YOURSELF TO BE?

Strong men wear masks to conceal their emotions, to greet the day.

They put on a brave facade, as always.

Emotional anguish and pain?

Who hasn’t been put through all these?

SOMETIMES the STRONGEST among us are the ones who SMILE through SILENT PAIN, CRY behind CLOSED DOORS and FIGHT BATTLES nobody knows about.

Are you a brave one?

I am afraid I am not.

Truly.
