That's What Friends Do

~This poem came to me after seeing a post saying, "you save everyone, but who saves you?" and I realized that no one saves me, but it's still my job to do everything I can to help them no matter how I feel~

I saw your tears

And rushed to your side

I told you I was fine

And when I wasn't I lied

I kindly smiled

And helped you heal

And if you ever asked

"It doesn't matter how I feel"

I pretended to be okay

But I think the truth is clear

I've got a shattered heart

I'm full of shame and fear

But still I keep smiling

I help you fight through

Because I'm your friend

And that's what friends do
