I Sat Still

I sat still
And I lip synced through every hymn
I sat still
Because I didn't want the pain to win

I sat still
Through a fear the tears would roll
I sat still
Because I knew that if I didn't
the floodgates just would not hold

I sat still
While my mum began to cry
I sat still
This did not work...my cheeks would stay no longer dry

I stood shaking
And my knees began to fold
I stood shaking
Until a friend offered out his arm...for me to hold

I stood calmly
Because the tears came out so freely
I stood calmly
Because I knew that you'd stay near me
