Tough

She thinks she tough

I know she’s not,

It’s all a front

To stop from being hurt,

To not seem so vulnerable

But I know what she is,

She is just a fearful kid,

She talks the talk,

She walks the walk,

But I know her well

And I am not fooled,

And I watch out for her

I watch in case she falls,

So that I can be there to catch her.

  1. We all hold that fear deep within, all could use a friend to give that helping hand.
