I take care
Of everyone
All the time
The oldest
At home
At school
Checking in with friends
Trying to comfort them on their drama
Without being pulled into it
Being a good person is hard
Are you ever tempted to just give up?
I'd be fine with this
I'm used to being in charge
But
I take care of so many people
Who's taking care of me?
I saw a photo of our band from last year
our Wind Ensemble
the intern we all fell in love with
the conductor we adore
everyone was together
and I just...
gah.
I wanted to yell STAY
Sack race
thirteenth birthday party
start of seventh grade.
My two BFFs since kindergarten,
the one that slipped in from fourth grade,
the two I met in fifth -
then of course my party girlfriends
How lucky am I?
To feel loved?
In a household and a family and a school that makes me feel not worth it
not good enough
and I found someone outside of it all who loves me?
