Analysis of Strong



You say it’ll be alright,
But it’s not getting better.
You say I’m strong
And we’re getting through this together.
You think I’m strong enough to get through this
And you think I’ll be just fine,
But you’re wrong.
Stop trying to convince me
Because you never will,
For I’m not as strong as you think
And I’m not as smiley as you see.
I’m in danger,
My life’s in peril,
But you don’t seem to notice
Because you still think that it’ll be alright.
