Healers

we are the ones who are born to help

We are the ones that help other people

We are brothers and sisters,

We are sons and daughters,

We are your best friend

We were created to heal others wounds,

Both the physical and mental injures.

We were created to be that little ray of sun

in a blizzard of darkness

We are always the strong ones

The happy ones,

We are always there to help others,

Never thinking of ourselves first.

we are drawn to those that are hurting,

Those that need help.

People always just assume we're okay, happy and strong

People never think we might need help,

They never think that, hey maybe we need to be asked how we're doing

They'd never think that we might have scars hidden under our clothes,

Old ones and new ones, still red and fresh.

We are the healers, the ones who heal others

We heal them by taking their pain and making it our own

And we never let them see our own pain

We hide it to keep others from hurting,

We hide it with big smiles, and bright clothes.

We hide it behind masks of spirit and  cheer

But at night when alone, those smiles fade, and the cheer disappears

And we cry, alone late at night, as that blade cuts our skin

And the strength bleeds away.

we wake up the next morning happy and strong,

No one aware that strength and smile crumbled away

No one knowing that we cry at night as we cut to have some control over our own pain

No one knows that we hurt at al, but they could.

They could if they saw our eyes, filled with pain,

They could if they ask " how are you?"

If they simply ask " are you okay"

But no one does because they think I'm good, happy and strong

But they never realize how weak we really are

They have no idea that we can never heal one person

That we can never heal ourselves.
