Those around you feed from your strength.
The way you react is your own, but calculated.

If you could, would you cry?
If possible, would you express sorrow?
Those around you starve from your weakness.
So is sorrow what you should be destroying?
Is happiness the best medicine?
But what about your own well being?
Is crying the way for your soul to tell you something is wrong?

Be true to yourself,
Not to those around you.
This is also one of my very first poems -- This was actually written for Jenna - aka - ~jadedpheonix . I put it under romantic, because at the time I was in love with this girl - now I just plain love her, there is a difference. I had always hoped that this poem would give her strength, just like she gives everyone around her the strength to go on.
