Aches

The realization hit me rather slow, but.

Everywhere i go, i'm faced with brokenness.

Not mine, but others.

Illnesses, stress, breakups, inferiority, broken hearts, pain.

And to make things horribly bad, it's happening to my close friends.

I'm feeling helpless, because no matter how much i say, it won't take everything away.

No matter how much i can do, the problem would still stand.

My heart aches so badly.

Sometimes, it's they themselves that choose to be stuck in the situation emotionally.

Not because they want to, but because they simply aren't strong enough to escape the pull.

And it's times like these makes me angry at them. Because they are not strong enough.

But honestly, are they to blame?

Perhaps partially, for simply not looking at the positives.

However, strength varies and i have to understand that.

Situations vary and i too have to remember that.

But going right down to the core, it's not them.

It can't be.

Why would a group of friends, who support each other, and back each other up,

fall so badly, in individual ways, at the same time?

It cannot simply be pure coincidence. Is there even coincidence in such matters?

Sometimes, as much as i wouldn't like to admit this. The devil's really smart.

However, God's smarter so, He'll outsmart the nincompoop anytime .

But a group of friends, if they all are shaken, and cannot support each other.

They'll all just crumble. Well, but they crumble together... Oh, the irony.

I won't say i'm the strongest. I won't say i'm the remaining pillar left.

But i know, that i haven't been brought down, and i cannot let this 'issue' bring me down.

For if i'm not standing where will they lean on?

So my friendsies if you are reading this, please know that i have nothing to offer,

no advices to give.

But you'll always have my shoulder, my ears, my time, my effort and my love.
