I GOT IT

I’m that person no one really worries about.
Because I always show up
whenever they need me, I’m there.

I’m the one who says “I got it,”
But somehow, I always figure it out.

even when I really don’t.

Everyone thinks I’m strong.
Like some kind of superwoman.
Like I have it all together.

But the truth is

I just deal with things quietly.
I don’t want to burden anyone with my problems.

That’s the thing about people
who haven’t been loved much.
We think about every kind gesture.

A slight touch of a finger.
A small smile.
Random acts of love.
We find intimacy in the tiniest things.

We search for love
in places it was never meant to be.
Because love was never given to us freely.

We don’t ask for love.
We just keep looking for it,
everywhere.
