I came to you in my time of need,
so that these dark thoughts and feelings
I would not heed.

I opened myself up and told the truth:
that I was ready to leave this earth, that in my life;
There was no longer any light or mirth.

What I was hoping to get from you was some help,
overcoming these dark thoughts and feelings.
Isn’t that what someone like you are
supposed to do?

You listened to what I had to say for a short time,
Then you left the room, leaving
me going out of my mind.

When you returned, you were not alone,
there were others with you.
And you tell me that you can’t help me.

The others tell me to stand up, and they placed
me in chains.
What is going on, I ask? Am I not in enough pain?

So, by coming to you and asking for help,
I am to lose my freedom. Why?
What have I done?
Other than to trust someone?
