How do I help

One of the things that hurts me most

out of everything

is when I see you stressed

frustrated

upset

about things that I agree with too

and you're going through pain

and I don't know how to help

I'm sorry

I do actually understand your pain

I don't like seeing you vulnerable like this

I want to protect you

to cover you from the acid rain of what I go through

I don't know how, though

I don't know how to escape the clingyness of people that cling to the nonexistent possibility of life in a cold body

I don't know how to escape the peer pressure of girls who judge everything and anything

who conceal their personality and starve their bodies to resemble skeletons wearing makeup

I don't know how to face the vultures that claimed middle school

I don't even know how to prepare myself for the tomorrows to come

I don't know how to help

but I want to

I need to

let me help

how can I help
