They say he battles demons
Though none can name them
Surely such battles must
Be seen and heard
If not with much violence feel them

He must have great weapons
To make war with such might
So brave to suffer
So much for so long
Through the endless silent fight

No one notices the struggle
As it wages before their eyes
Right there in front of them
Many deaths are dealt,
Ruin of a thousand lives

Still, in the end of it all
In the final battle he fights
The demons too strong,
And one too many,
He falls from mortal sight

*TALK* to someone is what comes to mind. Get it all out. It's unfair to expect people to *know* of someone elses pain, because even if they do percieve it most people dont want to infringe, or impose themselves feeling they may risk making the other uncomfortable, and then in turn they might feel they are going to lose that friend for being pushy, or intrusive. I hope this person gets help battling their demons. They just shouldn't go it alone. This is so sad. Makes me wanna cry. :'(
