Admiration

This is a poem for someone brave,
who i can but admire
For she tries to hide her pain
Even when things are dire

She acts so strong, hides it away
so others don't feel bad
She laughs it off, holds it close
When she feels most sad

But it hurts to see her hide
when she needs to let loose
And I know if you don't let it out
It chokes you like a noose

I love her so, this one i mean
for all that she is and tries to be
But I just want her to know
If she needs someone, she has me.
