The joy

Of being recognized

Being acknowledged

It courses through me


Making people

Smile and

Laugh

Gives me joy


Pleasing others

Helping others

Even if they don't know

It's what I strive for


I will do anything

To see a kind smile

Spread on the face

Of someone I love


Desperately wanting

To please

Even when they don't

Know it


Reconsidering words

Overthinking pauses

Word choice

All important


Important enough

That I will hurt

To see joy

In you
