Help Me Not
Help Me, I’m dying,
But I’m alive
I hurt, but there are no scars
I need some help, but I can’t ask
Cause my pain is from inside
Where the demons are
But they must hide
Or else the skeletons in my closet follow them come out
I need help!
Help me
Help me—no
Help me not
Because those demons must stay inside
Because If I ask for help,
just like ducks in a pond,
I get too close and they’re gone
Maybe cause they get a glance at what’s inside
Help me
Help me—no
Help me not
Because I have to listen to all that bullshit:
“I understand”
“It’s not that bad”
“You can trust me”
But why should I?
Help me
My sanity is being preyed upon
The demons, trying to escape
Shredding the fragile veil of my mind
No, help me not
Because all that must stay inside.
