My Biggest Fear

     Do you ever feel like you can't do anything to help someone get out of their mind? Like you couldn't show them that they are loved and cared for by more people than they could ever imagine? Well, that's what I'm afraid of. Not being able to help. Not being able to keep the darkness from killing them mentally, and sometimes even physically.

      I hear people always saying that they mess things up, and that it is impossible for them to be loved. I always try my best to help anyone who is feeling like they can't do it anymore. It's like every time the darkness consumes my friends, it consumes some of me at the same time. Most of my friends are covered with their battle scars. They battle their demons, their bullies, and their parents, but yet some how they always feel like they lose the war. Sometimes, when I try to help, it seems like I just make it worse. I just want them to know that, not only me but, a lot of people love and care for them.

      So, there you have it, guys. My biggest fear. That I wouldn't be able to help someone who is on the verge of suicide, and that I would lose them forever. That is a fear that I believe I will always carry with me. I just wish that people would choose to let me at least attempt to help them the best I can.
