The People-Pleaser
There was once
A beautiful high school girl
Who was often used
For her kindness.
She could never refuse
Helping someone
Or help that was offered to her.
She could never say no.
To anyone.
Not if it didn't make them happy.
"Do you want to go out for tea
And spend time with me?"
"Yes." She doesn't like tea.
"Come on, are you ready
To get matching tattoos?"
"Of course." She never wanted a needle
In her skin other than for shots.
"C'mon, let's go
And hide in the bathroom."
"Alright!" She despise even the thought.
She never let her own wants
Rise above others'.
She never let her own needs
Come before another's.
If they needed or wanted her to,
She'd agree.
And very rarely would she
Ever say no.
"Do I look ugly?"
"No, never!"
That was it.
One evening,
A random man ran up to her
And shoved a bag
In her hands.
"You look nice,
So do me a favor:
If anyone asks,
This is yours,
And you never saw me," he said
Then ran off.
The girl stood in confusion,
Tempted to open the bag
But...
