Everyone expects him to help them through everything that goes wrong.
They all expect him to never be upset
They don't expect him to ever cry
They expect that he always laughs and smiles.
What he doesn't understand is how they expect so much of him
How can he keep everyone around him happy when he can't even do that for himself?
He's tired of lying.
He's tired of trying.
He just wants someone to understand.
He wants to be able to cry in front of someone.
He doesn't want to seem weak but he needs someone to hug him and tell him that he doesn't need to do everything.
Sadly for him
No one will ever understand.
Not until he's 18
But instead of being at his graduation
He's at his own funeral
No one understood him
Not until it was too late.
