That Girl Was Me

I once knew a girl
Who sacrificed everything she had
To save the people she loved
I watched as she drowned herself
To keep others afloat
But she was always smiling
So no one knew her pain
I saw it in her eyes though
She was so very strong
And maybe that was the problem
She thought she could carry
The world on her shoulders
Forgetting she was only human
And when the day was done
She found herself bloody and bruised
That's when she realized
She had to save herself
Before she saved anyone else
