Conflicting emotions wrestle inside
How much do I show? How much do I hide?
The decision is mine over what to convey.
Can I trust my own voice with what I must say?
Do I hold back the tears? Do I keep them at bay?
Or, are they part of the truth? Let them flow, pour away.
My tentative nature makes this difficult, you see?
But then I remember, it’s not about me.
It never was…and therein lies the key.
From that moment, I realize what the answer must be.
