This is so sad and a wonderful drabble Heather. How many children really feel like that and grow into adults who seek counselling to understand their emotions and why they feel like they do.

There is a profound message in this drabble that many long winding stories may never get close to capturing. It's a terrible dilemma to be torn between heart and head - knowing one is needed but not wanted. Possibly vice versa, being needed but not wanted. How many feel like this? It's something to really contemplate.
