The stress of kindness

You smile hoping the tears at the corner of your eyes don't drop Your eyes, oh your eyes, shine with a fierceness that belies the dark clouds behind them. They gleam like an angel's, yet hide the stories that lie beneath. Like they hold zero fears The contradiction!! You could tell a thousand tales Of how you've suffered and hid the pain How goosebumps rose on your arms when your fear comes to life Your fear of giving your best But getting way less You cradle them like a mother bird does her eggs. Yet you hold the same value as a rag to them. A rag waiting for a day to finally be used. People always take from you, they take but never give You clench your jaw when you are shunned, The veins on your neck wanting to pop. Your tightened fist says alot Your eyes turn red, You know you've had enough It's time your aching heart gets a little rest
