Swallow

- I want to cry. . .
- Oh stop it, you! What have I taught you?

- Control. . .

- And what else?

- To smile no matter how bad I am inside. . .

- Swallow your feelings, control your emotions, smile to everyone and be there whenever you are requested. Say yes to everything and keep the complete control of your emotions!
- But..  .
- No but! Enough is enough! Aren't you tired of being selfish?

- Yes, but. . .

- No but! Like I said, enough is enough, so from now on, not a single tear should cross your face or even born in your eyes, not a single whisper of what you want should cross your mind. Swallow, control and smile.

- Ok. . .I will. . .I can do it!

- That's my girl. Now go on, clean those disgusting tears out of your face and smile.
