How can I help?

My hands are tied,

my legs are bound.

and I am chained to the ground.

As I watch you drown in pain.

I want to help,

But I can't.

I don't know how,

I can't help you on my own.

I need to know how to help,

If you just let me know.

I will listen to every rant,

I will offer any advice I can.

I will be the shoulder to cry on,

I just need to know.

How can I help?
