Help

How are you?

You ask this but,

I’m not sure you want the answer.

What’s wrong?

A million things but,

I’m sure you want to hear “I’m fine.”

Is everything okay?

Well no but,

Why would I burden you with my problems?

Quit asking me questions.

You know I’m going to lie.

Help me!

I’m begging for help and I can’t find how to ask!

You ask your questions hoping that you’re doing your job but,

You only want to make yourself believe that I’m fine.

You only want to feel like you’ve helped.

I am silently screaming for someone to help me.

Nobody is listening.

I don’t know how to ask.

I don’t know who to ask.

I don’t want to be locked away.

But,

I do want to be helped.

You see the problem here?

There are many like me.

Stuck in our own minds.

Wanting help but,

How do we get it?

Maybe we want you to just point out that you’re worried.

Maybe we want help but, if we feel nobody cares,

Why get help?

So,

Please help me.

I am begging and you don’t even know it.

Love me.

Show that you care.

Show that somebody wants me here.

Soon enough my cries will be actions.

Soon enough I won’t be silently screaming for help anymore.

So,

Please help me.

I am begging and I hope you know it.

Truly chilling the way that this echoes the feeling of being isolated.
"Please help me. //
I am begging and you don't even know it. //
Love me."
The periods at the ends of these lines just emphasise the demanding tone set by the isolation, and the inability to express the needs felt as a result of that.
Thanks for the read, definitely resonated with me!

Thank you so much! I believe that this is one of me best writings so far.
