can't shake this awful feeling

Has there ever been a time where you saw someone hurting and heard their story through someone else. and you knew they would feel awful and betrayed if they knew that you knew.

if they knew your pain
if they knew your reasons to cut.
if they knew why you cried for days and days.


It's an awful feeling.
the feeling of being helpless,
and useless.

knowing that you can't help them.
it's an awful feeling.
I have an awful feeling.
I'm awful for not doing anything.


I don't know if it'll be okay,
