Analysis of Be strong



Be strong
You’re not allowed to cry
You are not allowed to suffer

Be strong
Wear your mask today, wear it high
Fit in knowing you can’t

Be strong
Never open your heart
Don’t say a word

Be strong
Don’t be depressed
You must not jump out the window

Be strong
Don’t show your scars
Don’t seek help

Be strong
You must seek riches
Never settle for average

Never be weak
Never let them see it
Never let them worry
