Never Understood

They will never understand...<br> what it takes to be strong.<br> What it takes to smile <br> while the world pillages. <br> But I am not strong. <br> I fake to be brave. <br> I hide my face and cry, <br> but no one is looking anyway. <br> There is beauty in sorrow <br> like there is love in hate. <br> Who is victum to their own fate? <br> If we are not immortal, <br> then we must make our voice, <br> Being remembered is not a choice. <br> The world is blind for they cannot ever truly see, <br> what is before their eyes- <br> We, as humans, see only lies. <br> Have you ever wondered what it's like to die? <br> I haven't, <br> for maybe that is the only lie of life.
