Helpless

You know, today I experienced one of the feelings I rarely experience, it's when you want to reach out for someone dear to you, but that someone has become so accustomed to dealing with their own problems on their own, of not being taken care of, that they just shun your outstretched hand.

You start thinking whether it's better to leave them alone, but you're quite undecided.

You don't like to appear intruding, but you can't watch in silence and you can't just walk away, cause walking away, you'll just wonder what has happened in your absence, and watching hurts.

So, which should I choose to become, "The Intruder", "The Bastard" or "The By-stander".

i will go with being the Intruder.
coz many people may pretend that they r ok when they r not and they can handle their own problems just for not getting hurt when nobody reach for them when they really needed a hand.
u won't lost anything,just give a try.

I would also go with the intruder but not all the way just state clearly that you are here to help and willing to not stop by and watch and leave to the other person when to let you in if they are willing.

Sand, that's what I did, I'm staying clear for now probably.

Thanks both.

go with the intruder because no matter how hard people seem to resist the help, deep inside they are waiting for it
