The most caring person I know

The most caring person I know
gave up everything at a young age.
the day she stepped into shoes that were far to big-
abandoned by a mom who left the world far to soon
While most girls would be watching cartoons and gossiping about boys.

The most giving person I know
Would help a stranger in the blink of an eye
even after being walked over.a dozen times.
Every year would give all her money she had
to make each holiday special for her siblings
because a father made a choice to be out of the picture

The most beautiful person I know.
Has to put on make-up to cover up every time she goes outside.
Has bruises and scars cut deep from men in her life who all lied.
Yet still she smiles
for you and me and all those whose in her life she touches
even if it is all only for show
it lightens up my day every time I see it

The saddest person I know
Has given everything she has to the world
and is still taken for granted.
Has scars from failed suicide attempts.
Only asks to be loved and is still scorned
and I want to hold her
and I want to fix her
and I want to protect her
But I dont know if I can
And it scares me
