covering what we see as weaknes we build a facade to show the world
and make our self look biger, stronger or tougher
than we actualy are
We show this facade to evryone in our lives
never being tender or let a tear come to our eye
after all we are tough guys
real men arn't suposed to show weakness or cry.

even at funerals we are told to pull our selves together
and put on a brave face for the little ones
or
we tell them about the time we ran over a puppy
but not how we cried for 30 minutes holding the poor thing beside the road

so evryone we know dosn't realy know us
they just know our facade, who we want them to see

but in doing so we deprive the very people we love from seeing who we realy are, how we realy feel
why?
so we can look bigger, stronger and tougher

In whos eyes ours or theirs?
