Someone asked me today... was I alright?
I guess I didnt look too well or wasnt being normal...idk what prompted that.. all I know is that I lied real quick because I didnt want to cry...
It was a child!
There were more important occurrences at that moment
And I feel bad because I promised I'd never tell her a lie
Sometimes your best go to are children
But there's that limit where
Children just cant be in grown folks business
I love ALL my kids
They've showed me so much compassion in my roughest moments
And I've had to lie because I didnt want them to see me at my most trying time.
They look up to me
They count on me
They confide in me
So I dont allow them to see my heart bleed.
Yes I am soft
I never allowed anybody nor thing to turn my heart cold.
I never allowed anybody else to figure out my truth or the truth
Unless I told
Some are bold
Yet I still am able to mantain a heart of gold😔
