Stronghold Poem by brandon norseth

It may come as a surprise but i am not the man of steel everyone views me as. on the outside i am strong, independent, and collected but on the inside i am as shattered and broken and a mirror falling on to cement. I try to maintain and get by everyday but it gets harder to keep a smile when everyone around you is reluctant to accept you as a normal human being and i don't know how to deal with these emotional boundaries but eventually somethings got to give.
