You Need Help

A Friend who needs help

 

 

You Need Help

 

Why won’t you change?

Why don’t you care?

You are running down the path of despair.

 

Faster and faster you run, not wanting help from anyone.

Spiraling, spiraling down a black hole.

Your life is out of control.

 

You need the help, please take my hand.

Looking at me, with dark cold eyes, refuses the help.

Only God know why.

 

It’s hard to watch a friend go down a destructive path.

While evil is waiting to throw out its wrath.

 

I pray every night that God will bring you back,

And that the evil wrath will not attack.

 

For I am not weary, cold or alone.

For I know that my God will bring you back home.

Sometimes pride can be the reason people refuse help. Other times addictions or other mental problems may be the reason. I'm having to ask for help now myself and I've always pulled my weight...I don't drink, smoke or use drugs. But I'm now homeless and unemployed and I can't find work. At fifty, its not so easy. So I'm living on the charity of others not knowing what the future might bring. I might be living in a tent in the woods sometime soon and winter is on its way. So...say a prayer for me as well. I'm willing and able to work and have put in over 100 applications in the last month! I spent the last 4 years being a full time primary care giver to my dying mother who passed away near the end of last month. I've spent all my savings during that time...my public assistance has ended...I beleve in God...I go to church and I try to live a clean and wholesome lifestyle. It's not just the drunks, drug addicts and bums that are in need now. It's the once middle class clinging to the hem of poverty as well. It's really hard to "keep the faith" when it's all you have left. But I will pray for your friend as well.

What a wonderful show of faith! Many people become wrapped up in bad habits and actions and begin to wander down a drak path, but its always hard to be there for them and to see this happen. But the last stanza has so much hope it seems to outweigh the rest of the poem. Brilliant words

This is beautiful penned dear. I hope this person will find his/her grace soon... and all will be fine... it's so unfair, they won't take your help, or simply don't see there are actually persons who are loving them... blind of self-destruction... sad, but the truth, and I love what people have in mind, and put it out in true poems... well done dear.
