I wrote this poem about a week ago and I'd like to share it and get some feedback on it if anyone wishes to give some.
To help
SpoilerI know you want to help, my child
And I'm not here to stop you
Just to merely warn of the dangers ahead
You've chosen a noble path
A great one
A path I once walked
One I still walk
For once you've walked it
You can't ever stop
Sorry if this makes the path unwanted
That's not what I'm trying
I'm just letting you know
That if you want to comfort
The brokenhearted
The downtrodden
Those huddling in the corners during lunches
Those who have very visibly been hurt
And those who are hurting on the inside
From all types and sorts of sources
I know you wish to help
And as far as I can tell
This is the path
Not a lonely one
For you don’t have to tread it alone
You wish to heal their hurts
To calm their trembling broken hearts
To help pick up the pieces of their shattered lives
You want to help us?
Then you must ask and join us
I know your desire burns deep
But this will require more than you can know
Because to comfort the lonely and broken
You must join us
And walk and be shattered to know
I'm sorry it's the only way
But I won't give you a lesser way
To help them
Because once you've cried for nights on end
And had sleepless nights
Worrying
And wishing to help
And to die at the same time
You'll have to reach deeper than before
And I'm sorry my child
For I know the pain
And it's the best way to help them
Is to feel their pain
And to guide them through the dark
To even greater happiness than they've ever known
And you've ever known
And I know how it will make you feel
I know
Know that you're strong
And that you can reach out to them when you need to lean on them
And know that I love you, my child
Now go and ask
And help them
And yourself
Along the way

Too much and you'll fall apart, and you can't lift anyone when you can't even stand. It's a dangerous line to walk, which I think the poem sort of mentioned but not very much.

I think it's beautiful, Wizzy! <3

It's almost poetic that one of my closest friends hates hugs...
