My Bold Best Friend

I have a friend who is stronger than anyone else I know. She's more than a friend, she's a sister to me. She is a daughter, a student, a CNA(soon to be at least), and practically a second mother to her 3 younger sisters. She's always giving, she's always optimistic. She can never fully relax because so much is expected from her, yet she stays the same; she keeps pressing on, she keeps loving how she always has, she keeps dreaming her dreams.
If I could give her one thing, I'd give her a break from always having to be the one in charge. I don't know anyone who has 3 full time jobs that don't produce money, yet there she is, sister, student, mother, workin' away, doing what she knows has to be done all while being the perfect example of an unselfish woman. I can't wait until some wonderful man finds her, shows her just how extraordinary she is, and treats her the way she has deserved to be treated. He'll have to be 100% amazing to be good enough for her. And so, with that in mind Here's my song to this rockstar friend of mine.

I'm livin' in a world that wont stop pulling on me
I'm not complaining but it's true
It's like I owe my time to everyone else
Cuz that's all I see to do
You might not notice but I need a good friend
Someone to talk to when I'm down, down, down
And there's so much on my mind that I want to get out
But there's no one around

Sometimes I can't help thinkin' "what about me?"
Some days go by that I don't even see
Yeah, I'm doin' everything right and I can't break free
Is this the way it's always gonna be?
What about me

Well I'm dreamin' I'm on a highway with the windows down
Burnin' up the road at my own speed
And I'm stuck here goin' nowhere in this traffic jam
And there's a woman and her kids in the car right next to me
And I swear she's singin'

Sometimes I can't help thinkin' "what about me?"
Some days go by that I don't even see
Yeah, I'm doin' everything right and I can't break free
Is this the way it's always gonna be?
What about me
