Have you ever watched a beautiful spirit slowly break? You see them give and give, pouring out everything they have into a world that just takes. They are the only one who stands ready to help without ever asking for a single thing in return, yet they are the ones who get burned. Have you ever felt the stinging cruelty of a human ego? People will tear you down just to build themselves up. They make you feel small, standing on your shoulders just to spike their own pride. They target the kindest hearts, leaving devastation in their wake, and you're left wondering why life with people has to be so full of ache. Have you ever stood by a friend and felt utterly helpless? You care so deeply, but you just don’t know how to fix the damage. You want to be the shield, you want to make them feel better. But you're trapped in the quiet panic of not knowing what to say. Have you ever realized that a few good voices can get drowned out by a hundred bad ones? That is the heaviest truth to swallow. You try to be nice, you try to heal the wounds, but a few hands trying to rebuild can’t always keep up with a crowd that intends to tear things down. Don't break.
