Feeling gloomy right now. Unsure how to describe this feeling. Sympathetic.. not really. He was a close cousin of mine. I saw him grow up, played with him, and have since developed a close relationship. Yet I am rendered helpless, speechless when I learnt of his plight. Is there really nothing I can do. Over the phone, I knew he had cried. Trapped in that makeshift jail, I could empathize and feel his pain. Yet there is nothing I can do but utter some words of consolation. Loneliness emptiness, no one likes that. He may have failed in one way or another, but such surely isn't the right treatment a 12 year old should be given. Contained,Isolated, the fragile soul slowly backs away and eventually breaks down. Remedies are meant to be solutions to a problem.
But prescribed wrongly, the effects will backfire. I am worried, yet helpless. Condoned just like that, how will he feel... why cant they understand his feelings... So trapped in a bottle are his feelings. No 1 to talk to, play with, I am just afraid of the inevitable breakdown. A broken heart may be mended, but the scars perpetuate. As the rain pours, his heart bleeds. As the rain subsides, the gloom sets in. ...as I helplessly type this out..
