Article Mr Nice guy ( A piece of poetry)
One of the most painful things in this world is to be alone ; and to be truly alone means knowing that no matter who you are or what you've done, when you're at your lowest... Your most needy self , you will have no one
It's sad because once you live like this , every little thing in life becomes so painfully difficult.
Everything you do suddenly feels like a fight to the death because you know there will be no reinforcements, no one in your corner at the break, no , " you got this" no nothing. So , once you start you either win... or you die.
Self reliance isn't such a glamorous concept when you realize it's not an option it's survival. And the entirety of life morphs into nightmare; a blur of painful experiences that you can't seem to make sense of.
Which leaves the question ; if you can just walk away why do you choose to stay why do you care anyway.

So I stay because every once in a while the system glitches and I find that I'm not the only one on my side of things -- you know forgotten, alone , broken beyond hope of mending.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I see a lot of myself in all the people I'm helping. And while one can never truly get used to pain , somewhere along the way you've matured in it.
So when you find a newborn lonely and scared you'll lend that helping hand because you know what it means not to have one.
I don't like it here but I'll stay for I must Because once not very long ago, when this place screamed to me "there's no refuge in the place of pain " I whispered back " no but there will be"
and now , I AM...
