Everyone expects to see the smile, to hear the laughter from within,
You lend a hand, lend an ear
Time and time again.
You find the missing pieces
Put them back in place
Clean up all the messes
Never leave a trace.
You’re the 3 a.m phone call
Voice on the other end
Calming words of wisdom
To a stranger or a friend.
You pick up the slack
Others leave undone
The go to person
You’re always the one.
You keep it all together
They say you’re the glue
To fix what they’ve broken
Their shattered lives into.
Your energies spent
Going beyond and above
Healing what’s wounded
In all that you love.
Then in the down time
When it’s only you
You fall apart in silence
From the damage they do.
Your blood runs red
As tears fall down
The emotions scream
Though there is no sound.
You hold it in
While letting it out
Putting it on paper
What it’s all about.
You fix yourself
That’s what you do
You save the world
But nobody saves you.
