She

She is about ninety to a hundred pounds About four feet tall Short hair Normally walks fast She Has that face Her face is like a combination of anger, confusion and deep thoughts She never smiles Always serious Am always afraid to say anything to her Am afraid of the response This is her face every morning I don't understand how she can come to work like that everyday I feel like it's either she hates this job so much Or her coworkers Am afraid to ask her: how was your night? I want to crack that shell I've tried smilling, it never works I intentionally stay away from her, I feel like friendliness agitates her Am sure inside that shell, there's a tear, a flower and a warm blanket.

That only shows, its you who holds the warm blanket for those who would allow the simple act of someone being kind to them! Such sadness that even kindness is tossed to the side! But, never lose hope, even after 1000 blankets, someone will accept the warmth!
