Feel


You know

There are many things right now on my mind

By the fact that many people get irritated by the fact that someone merely says thoughts and prayers

But for some people that all they can do

They are not of age to make money or donate blood to give

But they want to feel helpful

And that is their way of doing it

So don't tell people stop saying that

Especially when you go online telling people not to do that and don't do anything yourself

At least they are contributing

Another thing

I really despise, loath, hate inspirational posters

Telling someone to hang in there isn't going to do shit for them

Some people need the extra hand, not just saying "I'm here to talk"

You need to take action

Not let some words on a paper decide a person's fate

Then saying it's such a shame when she's gone

But with all the posters around

No one gave her a compliment

No one gave him a "how are you"

No one gave them a verbal thing

They say. "Read the posters"

Or just put it in the announcements

Like that is going to do shit

Trust me when I say I understand your situation

I have more than likely been through that same situation if it has to do with emotions or mentality

So that is why I constantly ask everyone, "Are you okay?" or "Do you want to talk?"

Because I've already lost three people

And you're not next

I guarentee that
