... where I belong.
There are times in everyone's lives when we run up against a situation that overwhelms us. It can be a serious health condition, an accident, problems at home or work or any number of other things. Whatever the cause we're forced to make decisions that we normally wouldn't make. These decisions are often driven by our need to protect ourselves from further harm.
When these situations involve emotional or family problems, they can be difficult to cure. Many times these types of problems fester just like an infected wound, until they are so bad that the cause of the original issues can not be found. The original hurts no longer even matter because the damage is so great. We do our best to make the best decisions so that the whole of the problem gets resolved. Because of the stresses associated with the problem, we sometimes unintentionally do things that make the problem worse. A problem that had appeared to be healing becomes reaggrevated.
It is within these times we often lose our support base. We even find that sometimes we didn't have the support we thought we did. These are the times we find who our true friends are. They are the ones that have seen us stumble. They watched us make a fool of ourselves. Even though they know every bad turn and slip up we might make, they keep picking us up and dusting us off. These are the people who are few and far between in our lives.
These types of friends not only stand by us to steady us, but sometimes even get drawn into the muck right along with us. They don't complain. They stand up for us even when we don't have the strength to stand. They take the blows and continue on. They shed tears for us just because they care. Why do they do these things? Because this is what true friends do. They love us unconditionally for who we are, all of who we are: Our good qualities, Our bad qualities, Our mistakes, Our weird ideas, Our successes, Our good and bad choices and even when we think we might have disappointed them.

To the one who knows why this was written. I'll stand right here by your side... right where I belong. If they choose to judge me for that, then let them judge. If they feel I'm blind, they are correct for I refuse to see the transgressions they are so quick to point out as a reason to give up on you. When you feel alone and in the dark, I'm right here by your side... just reach out.
