Helped

Sometimes people get tired of biting their tongue all the time, so as not to hurt anyone. Sometimes people want to be heard.

The truth hurts sometimes, but that doesn’t make it any less true.

Because sometimes the helpers need to be helped.
Because sometimes the oberservers need to be part of the spotlight.
Because sometimes the silent want to yell.
Because sometimes the strong need to cry.

They can’t always be strong.
Even when you want them to be.
Need them to be.

Sometimes the trusted will let you down.
The part you don’t see is them beating themselves up over it, hating themselves for hurting you.

Hating themselves.
