Screaming silent tears drip down my face into my feather pillow beneath my head.
Darkness hides the telltale streaks lining my face.
Silencing the sniffles.
Hiding the pain.
Gods above give me strength I do not possess.
Make me strong in heart and mind.
Give me courage to face another day.
Let not my feelings be revealed through my soul.
I am a Viking
I will fight the battle before me.
