This is for you
The rock of your family
Yes you, the one who hears their time as it 'tick-tocks' away
But decides to stay anyway
Even though your family has given you no reason
For they brush you off or perhaps they hush you
But you still look out for them
Because you know you're one of the few that will
And just the thought of that makes your heart still
I know that you think I'm lying
But this poem is for you
Yes, you the one that gives up something they love for a loved one
The one that gives up their fun
The one that takes the blame and the shame
Because you are protecting your loved ones
This is for you I know that you feel done
But I'm writing this for you so that it's known
You are real, you are beautiful but most importantly
You always have someone to look out for you because you're not alone
Pick up your phone
Message your closest friend
Tell them how you feel
Let that face of steel break away
Let the obnoxiousness melt away
Let everyone know, you can keep your life
