you only seem to love me
when i'm happy
when you're catching every positive spark
feeding upon it
like your life depends on it.
you only love me when i uplift you.
your ego growing with each step you take with me.
but maybe i'm painting on
a happy face
when the world grows dark.
maybe i'm not always
the tough girl you think i am.
i feel just as strongly as you.
wander this same earth as you.
i'm just as much of a human as you.
yet you shoved me high upon this pedestal,
leaning on me
as if i am
an indestructible force.
but one day.
maybe the blocks that build me will fall.
maybe the great mass of the world
will sit too heavy on my shoulders
as i fight
not only my own battles
but everyone else's.
the truth is
i'm not unbreakable.
i don't know it all
i cannot always be
your saving grace.
i'm still learning
to handle myself.
i can only help you up,
dry your tears,
guide you through.
but everything you do in life,
is entirely up to you
