From a Far..

You ever come across someone who didn’t deserve the life they were given? Someone who seems like they try, has a good personality, maybe has a bad judge of character but hey, we are all human. You are there for all of their mistakes, all their successes, all of the awful things that happened to them but can’t do anything to change their situation. You sit there and imagine all the ways you can help. The scenarios replay in your head for weeks, sometimes years. You want to be their savior, their hope, that level of importance feels scary, something so far away, never to be reached. The suffering they endure almost on a daily basis makes it worse when you know they have to suffer alone. The support systems they have only cause more mistakes. You relate in some cases. It’s shocking how similar you are. Almost like someone put the connection there. Someone cruel. You want to reach out, say something, do something. The helpless feeling goes both ways, in 2 different meanings. Everyone is so cruel, some of them horrible. It’s not about lust, it’s someone who needs extra sympathy, patience, understanding. This special someone has been on your brain for ahwile. When they look at you, you wish you could say it all, but it would risk it all. Its not your place, it will never be. Their biggest supporter has to be silent. All you can do, is watch from a far.
