They say you need help

Saying they know what to do

But all they do is make the hole deeper

You want to be left alone

By yourself to deal with problems

They won't let you

No one can help

Because they don't know

They don't understand

Only you get your wounds

Friends, teachers, parents

Creating them

Befriending then leaving

Stop the pain

Make the hurt disappear

You need help

The type they can't give

Because they don't understand

Posted by Hodders 2008-08-01 15:32:11 .... Very good. It flows nicely and the way it is laid out, with very little punctuation, makes it seem like the speaker is very desperate and rambling. Quite a simple poem but very effective. + Report this comment
