It is Okay

You let your guard down,
And I see in your smile,
A glimpse of the softness deep within,
That you try so hard to hide.
You pretend to be tough,
I suppose it’s the macho thing to do,
But deep inside your yearn for love,
For someone to accept you.
You try to mask your gentle side,
You pretend you don’t need anyone,
But if the truth be known,
You hunger for love just like anyone.
It is okay to care you know,
It is okay to show your emotions’
It is okay because it shows that you are human.
