Help
by Nicole Christine
What does it mean to ask for help?
What if I am afraid?
Silence is so loud,
I can barely hear my own thoughts-
as they race through my head.
Please, someone, come and save me;
or must I fail again?
What does it mean to ask for help?
To quiet the noise is a constant battle-
Silence is like a tornado
Must I calm the storm on my own?
I know I should ask for help-
but the darkness inside
covers my soul.
I will take a breath again and again
release the storm
into the unknown.
Maybe, then help will come
and I won’t be on my own.
