That Girl Poem by Yelisa Espinal

I'm that girl that has to be everyone's friend.
The one who stays shut 'til the end.
The one who gets hurt and stays.
Instead of always walking away.
I'm that girl no one understands.
Because there are so few that she truly stands.
She doesn't speak her mind.
She just goes by and always stays behind.
Behind everyone to watch their back.
While her own protection lacks.
The one who cares too much.
That girl who just loves too much.
Who let's everyone bring her down.
But never lets anyone see her frown.
Only a few know the real her.
But now her world is nothing but a blur.
She still forgives and goes on.
While deep inside she never forgets and is done.
She still manages to smile.
Because her smile is her only style.
Her Smile is who she is.
Even if is not full of happiness.
She has her mind set on one.
But all she knows is how to be alone.
So she settles for less.
Even though deep down she knows she deserves the best.
