She is hiding herself.
Because what would she do if they found out?
How much she cries
How much she lies
And how much she dies
Each day to fake her smile and laugh.
She tries to give more than she can,
Thinking she of all people deserves it the least.
People try to give back
But she pushes it away
Or
She takes it home
And then violently tears it apart when no one is looking.
For certainly she does not need it.
Or deserve it.
But then why did they keep giving?
She broke her lie one day to ask.
And it was because they were like her.
So busy giving to others they never stopped to give to themselves.
So they made a deal.
They were there for each other
And everyone else.
And they kept on giving.
But...
They kept what they were given
