Self help

When you desperately
cry out silently
in your
emotional pain
when you cry out
while holding on
by the skin of your teeth
at the end of your
own personal
rope
crying out
is there anybody
out there
can anybody
help me
but all you hear
is an echo of your feelings
crashing against
these jagged rocks
of your despair
it will be then
that you will understand
if you cannot even try
to begin
to help
your self
no one else
can
