Little Miss does not need help
By Anika M. Untalan

I listen a lot, I help a lot,
But my problems are all trapped in a pot.
When everybody's are opening up,
I stay in silent, all emotions are bottled up.

They are crying with their friends,
While I cry 'till my silent battle ends.
Yes, I solve my problems alone,
I can handle it alone.

Come here, I'll comfort you,
Don't worry I will stay here while you are in blue,
But when I have a problem, you don't have to worry,
Because I can solve it silently.

You know why I keep bottling up? Because life is unfair.
When I needed help, no one was there.
Hardships? I am used to it,
Asking help? I am done with it.

I might make you think I don't need help,
But in truth, I am crying by myself.
I hid the side of me where I'm screaming for help,
Because I am little Miss does not need help.
