Everybody Hurts

Everybody Hurts
Everybody feels pain
So why oh why
won't let me pick you up

Lift your frail arms
Carry you
from the prison keep
Of your mind

When you
are not strong enough
Why oh why
Will you not give in
Ask for the help
When you need it most

Please just allow me to help
Just for a little while
I can bring you to grassy Field
Where you can bask in the sun
If not for long
But just a little while

Because Everybody hurts
Everybody feels pain
Just don't let yourself go
Allow the comfort you need in
Just this time

Author notes

It is my desire to help others and in my inability to do so i feel helpless..like i am drowning...

    This is a very beautiful write, there is a saying I use... you cannot help everyone, but you may be able to help someone, that way your life was not wasted... this is something I feel strongly about and it seems you do too.
    Well written and thankyou for entering, goodluck xxx
