After Aragorn and Legolas have their disagreement in Helm's Deep, Aragorn spends some time by himself and tries to capture his feelings in a poem.

Why must I be the strong one

Why must I carry the burden

Why can no one else notice

And help ease the pain

I want to cry

I want to be able to hate

I want to strike out

I want to scream to the heavens

But I can not

For

I must be the strong one
