Understanding

It hurts to know what the people I care for are going through.Others don't understand what they are going through and just succeed in making them feel even worse.Even people with good intentions can upset them because they are in reality so sensitive.They don't show their emotions because they hide it behind a fraudulent smile so people think they are okay.They are not okay but no one understands them.They are insecure.They are dejected.They are misunderstood.It hurts to see the hints of depression from my friends.They post multiple heartbreaking post on social media or they make jokes about how their life sucks but theyr'e not jokes.They hide their feelings behind a joke or smile so that other wouldn't mock them or look at them differently.It hurts to know that everyday my friends live in fear,insecurity,and sadness but still able to go out in public and pretend to be happy.I love my friends and I give them my upmost appreciation and respect.I don't fully understand my friends and they might think the same but i'm willing to do everything in my power to keep them safe.I'm going through my own battles and I believe that at least I know a thing or two.What hurts me the most is how the people I would take a bullet for think about suicide.Iv'e been through such situations and still am so I feel like I have some sort of knowledge.Then again I don't have the same thoughts as the ones I care about but I do my best to keep them safe and cared for.I love my friends and I would die for them.I'm not afraid of death.I'm not afraid of my well being.I'm afraid for the health of the ones i care for.I love them.
