She Is Fire

She is too much, she goes too deep, behind her back they say. She is too kind, she’s too caring, she is too loving they say. 
She’s too excited, she’s too giving, she is too honest, they say. She says and does things, we’d never do or say. 
She’s too genuine, she’s too nice, she is too full on, they say. She’s too positive, she’s too hopeful, she is too strong they say. 
She is too brave, she’s too helpful, she is just too real, they say. 
We aren’t like her, we like to pretend, 
And certainly do not want to be her friend. 
When the positive is so misunderstood, 
When they just don’t see what they should.
She is a girl who feels everyone’s pain,
Who wants to help and doesn’t seek to gain. 
She brings light and a helping hand, 
She fights for ones in need without end. 
But you don’t see this, you don’t understand, 
You do not take her helping hand.
She is not too much or full on, or wrong,
She does not see weak in you, only strong..
