It's not that easy to say, they are cowards.
I think I might of been around 8-9 on my first attempt. My world was upside down, I was battered by my parents, and worse..... much much worse.
Everyone ignored it, even though they saw the bruises, the burns... When you are told on a continual basis that you are .. worthless...when you know nothing in your life except for pain and suffering of course you don't want it to continue because see.. those that have hope, can see a tomorrow - those that do not .. they only see more... darkness.

We ... see .... but we often don't want to get involved or ignore the signs. People that feel this way, just want to matter to someone, even if it's but for a moment.
Think of a small sappling battered by the harsh rain and relentless wind - during a long storm. You go to it, brace it, and continue to ensure - it is reaching straight and up to the sun.
I'm an older oak that grew up very strong but only because .... someone I did not know, took a moment to care here and there... told me I was a lovely child, told me I was a fighter and to not give in - or up. Just a smile here and there, a word of kindness resparked my hope.
I don't see them as cowards, I see them as someone reaching in vain - and hoping to connect to someone ... before they fall.
