What it seems like society expects out of strong women.
Big Girls Don’t Cry

Swallow your pride,
standing tall against odds,
hiding your emotions as if
they don’t even exist.

Don’t you know?
Big girls don’t cry.

You must stay strong,
holding it all together,
casting your needs
off to the side.

Don’t you know?
Big girls don’t cry.

Get up when you fall,
never showing fear,
swallowing immense pain
as if you never hurt.

Don’t you know?
Big girls don’t cry.

Your hurts don’t count,
pain only living in your head.
You are the strong one,
not allowed to ever break.

Don’t you know?
Big girls don’t cry.
