The Strongest Creatures

Don’t assume those happy faces to be true,
Masters are those
Who hold the power to control their emotions.

It is such a great skill to wear a fake smile
Even in your hardest times.
They can’t share their sorrow;
It lies buried deep inside.

And don’t ask the reason for their silence,
For they’ll always lie.

“Introverts,” as the term is coined
Yes, they exist.
When your thoughts aren’t valued,
You stop sharing them.
When your emotions are ignored,
It feels heartless.

But the thing that hurts the most
Is when people mistake your quiet for weakness,
Making you feel worthless.

But no, my dear
These people are the strongest creatures.
