#askingforhelp
Asking for help
is like struggling
when you’re drowning;
it isn’t a sign of weakness,
but the desire
to keep living
Don’t drown:
ask for help
in your surroundings.
Because people won’t
watch you drown
when you’re struggling;
they’ll run to help you
out of the pond
you’re drowning in.
Because if you don’t
try to live
so others don’t see you bleed
you will only make them
hurt more
when you fall
under the weight
of the storm.

It feels like I'm screaming into a void
Yet I know you all can hear.
I can’t figure out why you don’t respond,
Is it anger? Maybe fear?
Or is it apathy towards
A fellow human soul.
Or maybe you just think
That my tragedy has gotten old.
Two years on and I still
Feel like ****
Still struggling on my own
To deal with it.
Two years and I could still
Cry at the drop of a hat.
But you just don’t seem ready
To deal with that.
I could not make it anymore
Obvious if I tried;
That I've been falling apart
Since my brother died.
You told me to stop
Hiding how I feel behind a wall.
That if I spoke honestly
There would be help from you all.
I no longer even try
To hide how I feel
When you ask, my answer
Of pain Is real.
So, I'll keep talking,
And you’ll keep ignoring what I say
I'll keep talking
And I'll never be okay.
