18 years of roller coaster ride
Tired and worn am I But still I need to move
To be the ironman For my folks to rely on
The comedian to add humour to their lives
The tears and loneliness have to be hidden
Beneath the mask of smiles and toughness
Friends only watch at the sidelines
And shoutout words of encouragement s
They didn't know I really need a shoulder to cry on
and a hand to give me an extra push
Everyone is deceived by my mask of happy laughter
How very much I would like to hole up in a corner and cry out loud
Seeing her frail body just tore my heart apart
Deep inside I knew she needs me more
I have to be strong..I need to be strong
