kin

i have never once seen you let pain seap through the cracks
for my whole life i almost thought you didn't feel pain or hurt
i have always had this image of you as the strong willed tough guy
never allowing weakness of any sort have it's way with you
but today my heart crushed as i realized you too feel the pain
the way we grew up was not healthy but still you took it so well
knowing that it hurts you but you put yourself above it
only makes me think you're even stronger of a person
but i also feel sad, because you shouldn't have to feel this way
we shouldn't have this life, we deserve better
but it's the life we've been dealt
