The Guardian
She sits
Watching, listening, learning
Loving, laughing, crying
Screaming, anguish, joy
All very real
Griping, gasping
But not always do these belong to her.
The love of a couple resonates within her
The laughter of friends echoes out
The year of a child come from her soul
The screams of pain tear through her without mercy
The anguish shakes her at night
The joy fills her to the brim and break
She watches, through calm and calamity
She listens to every word, sound, and everything in between
She learns, but never for gain
Nay. With few can she indulge her own heart.
She helps and loves
Assists and cherishes
Gets used and thrown
She protects what she can
knowing sometimes she can't
Her flaw and mistake?
She feels too deep, loves too much, laughs too hard, cries without end, screams every note, lets anguish rage through, and shines with joy
She isn't who you underestimated her to be
She cares more than you knew.
She hates that her heart gets involved.
All of this resounding as
She sits.
