Does it Always Have to be Me?

Does it always have to be me?

The girl who picks people up;

Who gives the encouragement that everything is going to be okay.

The girl who never lets her guard down in the fear that someone might see the real person brewing inside.

Does everything always have to be okay?

The girl that always has a smile on her face and a sparkle in her eye

Does anyone ever think to ask if she's okay?

No. 

Why wouldn't she be okay?

She seems happy enough.

She seems like she's got the whole world in her hands.

She always knows the right things to say

But does she ever have someone say them back to her?

No. 

She's the girl who has it all together right? RIGHT?

She doesn't need encouragement she has it all figured out. 

But does it always have to be me?
