Been told to be a good listener
Some belief a confidante
The one to trust and share with
Pains and joys them tell I
Seeking advices and I try to gave
In my world there aint a stranger
What if I was broken
In my world there aint a stranger
Putting others first is my nature
From the brother asking direction
To the lady in the queue
And the little crying lost kid
I find friends and help
What if I was broken
I loosen up when flashed a smile
For an unknown I can brighten up
Some of days been sad
But if someone needs me I never refuse
To cheer and pick their spirits up
Last placing my own feelings and needs
What if I was broken
Love to make others happy
A pillar of strength and support
Yes am not strong enough
Yet for others I can and always
If a leader is the one who cares
Then I believe I'm a leader… but
What if I was broken
If I was shattered and broken
Who could offer help?
To pick up the pieces who'll assist I?
Will these souls I've helped return a favour?
Will they lead and aid me if I was lost?
In my dark hours will they enlighten?
What if I was broken
Am that sibling aspiring to be close
I share understanding and build a bond
The one who cares and loves
A listener who never tires
In sadness I cheer them up
In happiness I share
What if I was broken
Been told to be a good listener
Some belief a confidante
The one to trust and share with
Pains and joys them tell I
Seeking advices and I try to gave
In my world there aint a stranger
What if I was broken
And I wonder if am hurt will they care?
When am down will I be picked up?
In my sad moments will them notice?
Can I lean on them when feeling weak?
If I need advice will they share?
And if I do right, will they be proud?
What if I was broken
An encourager
Putting their dreams before mine
Always a second
I've got the backs of many
Belief to share every little I have
A selfless being I am, but
What if I was broken
In my world there aint a stranger
Am that friend who'll stay up at night
I listen and offer shoulder to cry
In their problems I try bring a solution
I love seeing the smiles
Solving the fights unbiased
What if I was broken
Been told to be a good listener
Some belief a confidante
The one to trust and share with
Pains and joys them tell I
Seeking advices and I try to gave
In my world there aint a stranger
What if I was broken
Can't stop but wonder
If I die will they remember what I was
I give my all and do my best
Hoping it all wont be in vain
Not to getting paid but I worry
Who can I talk to or ask help if in a need
What if I was broken
*when Depression speaks*
WHAT IF I WAS BROKEN
