American Nightmare

He cannot be weak

Never show them

How it hurts

How he burns

How he longs for death

For it to just

Stop

But he has to be strong

He is the one they look up to, idolize

He is their hero, and heroes are never weak

Never break

Like a toy soldier indeed

(Holding the weight of the whole world on his shoulders)

Tall

Unyielding

But in the end

He still isn't

Real.
