It must be hard
To be silent and quiet
Resisting the many chances
To forcefully strike.
It must be difficult
To not say a thing
Even if your insides itch you to do something.
It must be tough
To just turn your back
Even if you care a lot
And feel hurt and sad.
It must be impossible
To calm your sensitive heart
To just speak with your eyes
Even when words hit like a dart.
But if you take a moment
Just to realize your pride
It’s amazing to restrain
Let there be joy in those eyes.
