You first, Me second

You first, Me second

A Poem by Joey Martinez

Am I truly happy? no
But I act like I am so the people around me don't know
I put on a smile to make sure the sadness doesn't show
I don't want them to feel like I do, low.
But I put others feelings before mine
Because I wanna see people be happy all the time
Even if it means sacrificing my time 
I'd make sure they're happy and everything is fine.
I care about myself, but I care about my loved ones more
To make them smile and laugh is my chore
I never want to see them angry and roar 
I want them to know, that happiness is what I have for them in store.
They come first and I myself come second
It should be the other way around but this is how I truly am
There happiness is my shelter and I give them land
No matter how sad I am, I continue to make people smile
I want their happiness to be strong and last for miles
This is my goal, this is what I want to do
Don't worry about me, Let me worry about you
