I'm alright, really, its all I've been,
I can hide it all, beneath my skin.
And when someone else is hurting I
Can reach out and hug them,
When they cry.

Talking to them, to my best friends,
I feel their hurt as time suspends.
And as the laughter once again subsides
My pain is deeper now, its pushed inside.

But then I am alone again, and time is still.
The pain, my thoughts they come, they drill.
The silent barrier breaks apart, the echoes open up,
and with need for a quenching drink,
I grasp for empty cup.

Talking to them, to my best friends,
I cover up, smile pretend.
But I'm doing better, can't you tell?
Because this time I got up when I fell,
And each fall haunts me now.

(this isn't all about me btw. Just in watching others I conjured it up)

- And so it was that time stood still -

There are many people who give of themselves selflessly but never find the time for themselves. A touching tribute to them
