For Him
from This Is What It Feels Like

Everything for him is a disaster, including himself. He’s stressed out all day, can’t sleep well. He can only sleep around four hours max, and he can’t think straight in school because of the stress. He doesn’t trust easily. He has few friends. He doesn’t have a girl that can be there for him and can understand him. He’s afraid to be with someone because they could speak meanly to him when he’s stressed and because they may not get along with his father. For him, the world is useless. He’s missing his mom, she’s in the Dominican Republic and the only thing that can take away his stress is his mom. Maybe this year he can be with her again. For him, that’s not the only thing he needs. He needs the love of someone that can understand him, be there for him, and hug him always. Sometimes all he needs is a good hug. When he’s stressed out he starts to cry in the middle of class without anyone noticing. Sometimes, he’d rather laugh than cry. He’d rather joke around rather than show how he really feels. Sometimes, a person just needs love from someone very specific.
