People see her as the mother of their group,
maybe because she walk behind everyone, like a bodyguard in charge of a troop,
They also labeled her as the adviser, a personal Psychologist perhaps,
since she offer them words of comfort and sometimes, truth that slaps.
Oh, I almost forgot that people said she's the anchor,
maybe because she provides stability when time is rough saying,
"don't be driven by your anger."
People also viewed her as the gray area where there's balance between evil and good,
cause she often stopped them from talking about other people that they've always misunderstood.
But
Isn't it true that a mother keeps everyone safe by slowing her pace?
or maybe she's walking behind them cause they did actually not give her some space?
a guidance counselor slash psychologist who's in charge of everyone's heart,
but when she needs help, they said "you can do it on your own, you're smart."
When it comes to their birthdays, she's the first one to plan,
but when her time comes, is there a surprise? Birthday song?
Nope, they did none.
If they're murmuring about other people and she asks what's the topic all about,
they stopped talking not because she's the good one but because in their eyes,
she's out.
When friendship is a puzzle, a jigsaw or a mystery,
she's the piece that they thought will lead them to misery,
if there's one last piece that is missing then I'll be the first one to admit,
that whether it is friendship or puzzle?
I'm the last piece but won't fit.
This is inspired by those people who feel that they are being left behind by their friends, who feels left out, and who feels that they don't fit. Let's not fight just to have a position in someone's life.
