The Strong May Be Weak

When sorrow stabs a mind,
There’s so much it can find.

The strong may be the weak,
Hiding behind a façade they seek
To appear to be powerful
By causing others to be sorrowful.

Their weapons of hate and attack
Will only ricochet back
Further wounding their weakened mind
While forcing others farther behind.

Their weakness will start to fade
The moment in sorrow they’re not afraid
To view tenderness as something strong
And being a bully as always wrong.
