A Penny For Your Thoughts
" I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless and they don’t want anyone else to feel like that..." Robin Williams
She's always there to make them smile.
Her shoulders are ever ready to lean on.
And convinces them that life’s worthwhile,
for she’s the only one that they can depend on.
It’s always the saddest people, she thought,
trying their hardest to makes others happy.
As they know what’s it like to feel worthless and hurt
and will hate for anyone to feel that much crappy.
She has to be strong for them she feels,
But hides the fact that’s she’s slowly falling apart.
It’s difficult been strong sometimes it seems.
As no one notices a shattering heart.
Yet she finds the will to always make sure she somehow makes their day.
But deep inside she quietly wishes someone could hug her pain away.
