Keep to Yourself (sonnet)

Never let them see deep inside your soul.
Don't let them see you cry a single tear.
Never look too broken; always look whole,
Show your courage, but never show your fear.
Don't let them know how close you really are
To falling completely apart right now.
Hide every weakness, hide ev'ry scar,
Hide your pathetic self, no matter how.
Always put on your very best "brave face,"
Don't let them see the fear that's in you eyes.
Put old memories in their proper place,
And when pain comes back up, don't be surprised.
The only way to keep the dream alive
Is keep to yourself and try to survive.
