I've got a lot of things going on, I've felt like this a lot in the just past school year. This goes out to all my friends that I have.

Too Much

I put on a smile

Because you need me to

Everyone never sees

What I hide underneath.

You found out the truth about him

He made you a "rebound girl"

It was done with you two

Now I smile for you.

He flirted with you every day

He would instantly stop when you said so

You got in a fight

"All men need to die"

It was thought as a crush

He's not straight

We didn't care

You got the fuzzy feeling.

We'd read something sad

Send hugs over the phone

Give them at school

Offer the comfort needed.

Signs were posted

You felt like crying

It was a friend you considered very close

But you still don't know.

You passed the party

It was your sweet sixteen

You missed the opportunity

But you don't regret it….yet.

You went to the hospital

We came and visited

I put on my happy smile

Treated you the same

He has a girlfriend

They seem odd.

You're confused

"He should be mine"

You think that it's working out

He thinks that it's not

You're happy as ever

In his arms

He flirts with you more now

His girlfriend is blissfully unaware

You know the truth

But don't know what to think.

She's having more trouble now

You two put on the face

One hates the way the other acts

The other blissfully unaware.

You're going out with him

The biggest player in the school

He made one his "rebound girl"

But you don't understand.

Your parents don't trust you

Because of one night on the phone

I listen and smile

And offer hugs when needed.

You saw a picture

It kept you up all night

I gave the hug

And helped you through it

I listen to all of you

I give what comfort that I can

I held you each close

Offered what I can

Now it's overwhelming

I can't take it all

I keep it locked inside

Letting the smile shine

If you truly knew me

You'd see the sadness in my eyes

When I stare off

I think of it all

Only one ever noticed

The sadness that I carry

She held me close

Comforted me

I've known her my whole life

She's the only one who asked

The only one who really offered

The comfort that I always do.

Sometimes I feel like huddling into a corner

Other times like screaming

When I get like that

I call those close to me

Everything around me

It swirls around

I just feel that it's all

Too Much.
