Today’s word is “master.”
I felt weak
yet I acted strong
I was sad on the outside
but smiled without
I worried, fretted, and sweated
but smiled and grinned
I ached, stung and wanted to quit
but I kept plugging along
I watched you play with a proud grin
I wanted to join you
I didn’t have it in me
you asked me if I knew, but refused to admit
that the walls were closing in
you later chastised me for acting strong
when I was anything but
what you never learned about me
it would help me if you would…
is that I am the master of letting you know
only what I want you to
I’ll worry about you
leave me to me
