Silent Warrior

I know you are tired
I know the heaviness of the pain you carry inside
Pain which you hide behind courteous smiles
Pain which I can see reflected in your eyes

The world has told you to be silent
You are not to express your fears and anger
Behind the strength is a tired warrior
Screaming for help yet the world is deaf
But I see the real you behind the armor

When all hope may seem lost
And angels cannot hear your cries
I shall rush by your side
I will not leave you behind

From the darkness I will pull you through
The rocky path, I shall walk with you
With me there is no need to pretend
I know the boy 
I love the Man.
