Help Quote by Anonymous
“When you were little if you fell they would ask you where it hurt and you would point to your knees, your arm, or an elbow and they would make it better. But I noticed when you get older and you fall, they dont ask you where it hurts. You sit silently in your room waiting for someone to ask you where it hurts, pointing to your head and to your heart because that is where the pain hurts the most, but nobody make it better...”
