the other day, i saw another teenager. His lips were blue, and his skin was pale. Scars peeked out from under his sleeve. It was like looking in a mirror. But what could I say? I know from experience that words can't make it better. A split second, our eyes locked. But I turned away, and walked out the door.
What could I have done? Another bad decision. We can try to heal ourselves with words, but i bleed words and it is not my tourniquet. The words aren't fixing anyone.
