Would you have thought, after all this, he finally gave up?
He gave up the fight.
I think he made his bed long ago, he was just deciding when to lay in it.
He didn’t just give up the fight though, he gave up friends, and family.
But I understand it wasn’t his fault.
He did everything, for everybody.
Weather it was, the answers to a test, or the answers to life.
He would have held your hand and guided you.
Through the horrifying darkness, through life.
He would ask if you were okay……….
But no one would ask him.
No one was there to hold his hand and guide him through the dark.
He was scared, and alone.
Cold, and afraid.
In a world, full of pain and darkness…
But he still found a way to guide others.
He still found a way to tell people it was all going to be okay…
But, who was there to tell him that?
No One.
No one took just one minute, to ask a simple question.
No one was there for him, not even me.
I never asked if he was okay, if he needed help.
If he needed a guide.
If he needed someone to talk to.
Me, and everyone else, was too caught up in our fake drama that we were missing all the signs………
And now, as I lay here…
I wonder, why didn’t he say anything,
No!
Why didn’t I say anything?
That one question could have saved his life!
But I didn’t ask it.
No one did.
And now he’s gone, forever.
Someone so, pure, innocent
Who would have thought? -Justin Thorne

The kindest people have always endured the most pain. This is because they know what it’s like to feel worthless, and never want to make another person feel the same. We never really know what a person has gone through until they share that part of themselves with us, but sometimes it becomes too late. A person can spend their lives taking care of other’s while forgetting to take care of themselves, the most important. We must love ourselves first.
