Help

Who out there has got a problem?

Such an issue to resolve?

Something you could use some help with,

But whoever will you call?

Will you say, "Author, oh author, haven't you heard?

There's so much going on right now,

I'm feeling quite disturbed!

I'm under stress, I'm depressed,

I'm going crazy, I'm a mess.

If I'm anything at all

I am a nervous wreck at best.

It's noticed too much to bluff,

And as of now I've had enough,

Expectations are too rough,

And meeting standards is hard.

How am I supposed to manage

Through priorities and such?

What else could you want from me?

My God, it's too much!"

Not that anyone complains to me,

Or anyone's confiding.

We live in one judgmental place,

they'll keep their fears in hiding.

There're addicts, dramatics, and spastics far from practic.

How quickly one thinks that they know you

With a single glance is drastic.

But the worst thing you can do

Is decide to give up.

"can't" has never made a benefit,

So it has nothing to live up.

"can't" didn't fight wars, claim shores, build cores,

"can't's" never done something no one's ever done before.

But nothing else matters to you,

So all fades when you’re ailed,

Wondering when the pain will stop

Like writing tallies if you're jailed.

But if anything,

You have hope.

It makes things easier

for you to cope.

So march on brave soldier

With your head held up real high.

You're stressed but you're the best.

Don't let your life pass idly by.

Someone believes in you,

Even if it's not yourself.

Sure I've done nothing in person,

But at least you've found some help.
