Him

Written about a good friend of mine.

He's scaring us all again.  He's hurting, I can tell.  But why?  I'm not sure.  I need to ask him... Why won't he talk to me?  Why won't he talk to anyone?  Why won't he let us know what he's afraid of?  Why is it so hard?  He's letting it all eat away at him, and I'm afraid soon... there'll be nothing left.  It's going to kill him.  Everything he keeps bottled up inside... it'll be the death of him.  I know he wants to be strong, we can all tell that's his deepest desire, no matter what he says, he wants to be strong.  But he can't ALWAYS be strong.  No one can.  So why keep it secret?  Why bother?

 

I'll never know the answers to these questions, I'm sure.  But I wish I did.

 

SHE loves him, SHE misses him, SHE loves him too, all these girls can't get enough of him.  His family loves him.  Everyone loves him.  Life should be good.  So why is he hurting?  He could have any girl he wants.  Why is he depressed?  Here I go with more of the questions.

 

I wish he'd tell me how to help, I wish he'd let me know.  I wish more than anything that I could make him feel better.

 

But then again...

 

Wishes don't always come true...

 

Do they?

so, I read this three times over and I still can't figure it out. If this guy isn't talking to you about his feelings, he's looking for attention. Or he's closet-gay. And it won't be the death of him so stop worrying. He might say 'oh, I'm so upset, I'm so depressed' but if he won't talk about it, he's playing you.
Anyway, about the writing itself. It's sloppy, and you say why a lot. Nice ending though. wishes never come true. remember that.

wow, my heart broke as I read this. I can totally sympathize with you, I understand the wrenching emotion behind the words you pieced together so well.
I hope everything turns out okay..

This is a great, truthful write. I think he's going to crash. I hope to god I'm wrong. People are going to get tired of us, you know that? All of us... You, me, Bry, Ski... They're going to hate the drama.
