Fix it Woman

There's an unspoken sign that looms over my head.
It says, "I'm the fix it woman" or at least that's what it said.

I'll come running to help you,
I'll do whatever you need me to.

I've got money, time, or sympathy .
Come to me....it's all free.

But only when they needed a fix did they come to me,
I started to realize this wasn't love and it was lonely.

It was then for the first time I saw the sign that lived over me.
And I thought is that really what they see?

I was their crutch to make it each day,
my heart was now broken what more can I say?

And then one day a friend whispered in my ear,
there's no reason to fear as he wiped away my tear.

He told me, "Life is much more than living for THEIR happiness."
I understand now, he was speaking of a life without distress.

Not long after that I began to discover,
there were others like me and that I could recover.

Each week we meet and there's a lot to say,
keeping eachother aware so we don't go back to our OLD way.

And as for me there's no sign that hangs over me.
For I finally understand what it means to be free to be me!!!
