Don't Want To Be Helped

By countrygirl

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

You know, there are people who don't want to be helped. They want everyone to leave them alone. Maybe they're addicted. Maybe they have convicted themselves. Who knows? But they just don't want to be helped. You try to enter their world. You telephone. You write letters; you send e-mails. You have relatives and friends visit. But it always fails. Because they just don't want to be helped. Maybe they have given up on themselves. Maybe they can't see why people should care. Maybe they're just overwhelmed. Maybe, maybe, maybe... Who knows? There are people who don't want to be helped. Written March 6th, 2002 © on Mar 06 2002 11:13 AM PST   0 • 9
