Just A Man

I saw you sitting on that swing set

Looking all depressed 

Now I know I'm just a man

But if you need a helping hand

I promise I'll do everything I can

I can see your mind is trapped in a cage

So just ignore my age 

I've experienced things 

And I've seen things

Someone as young as me probably shouldn't

But to push you away I definitely wouldn't

We all know a wound can't heal if it doesn't bleed

And sometimes all you need

Is a listening and caring ear

Someone to simply sit there and hear

So give it a try

I can't lie

I'm just a man

But if you need a helping hand

I promise I'll do everything I can

There is a lot of truth to what you have written. There is only so much that any one person can do for someone, other than listen. I agree that age doesn't matter; it's about what has happened in the past. A lot can happen in only a few years. Your words are profound and straightforward. It's a simple poem with a lot of thought behind it. Well done, and I hope you keep on writing.
