what you dont know about someone

so theres this kid i know....a confused kid--one who doesnt know what he wants in life....
although everything is right in front of him,
he has an amazing life--with many who care for him, treat him well, and spoil him with love
but yet theres still something missing in his life. BUT WHAT?
i'm one of those people that care for him, love him----> but i dont know if he just takes my love and others for granted or if really understands we deeply hold affection towards him....
........everything that he receives, everything that he has--would make you believe he is happy
BUT HE IS NOT......there is an unfilled space in his heart..
it is very sad.....and i cant seem to understand why(?)
Materialism---is not what love is made of..and i feel he has a false sense of what true love is
his family and close friends submerges him with money, gifts and other wonderful fortunes
but I, I try to just cheer him up...keep him on his toes--create a chuckle or two to leave his mouth----i want the boy to happy!
"Still up at 3am knowin my ass gotta be to work at 6am. Iam sittin here tryin figure out if iam really that bad of a person because everythin bad always happens to me. I keep it real allday but at the end of the night shit comes back and slaps me in the face. I jus don't kno wat to do anymore besides bein me. If yall don't like it then fuck it be out don't let the door hit u n the ass. Jus wanna thank my peoples for always bein there wen I need sum 1 to talk to. To all my haters yall keep watchin ur man rise to the top !!!"
I read this one night..well i should say morning...and was shocked..i knew he wasnt the happiest camper...but i ddnt know he felt that way--he thinks hes a bad person...and everything bad happens to him. Wow!
-------my response was ur a beautiful human being..and you should smile for everthing you've accomplished in your life....go to sleep get some rest and feel better-will talk at another time
DAMN...you never know what goes in someone's life...they can b smilng on the outside, but b so miserable on the inside
I JUST WISH HE KNEW HOW TO EXPRESS HIMSELF...or atleast let me in
do not simply focus on materialistic things, because in the end, they have minimal value...love is a far better choice!!...
