How To Save A Life

she won't tell me
whats wrong
all I know is
somethings up
I wish I could help her
but she won't let me

she thinks I won't believe her
I guess thats what it is
she doesn't think I'll help her
but I would
no matter what it is

~~~~~~

it's not that i don't trust him
I just don't want to wine
I don't want him caught up
in all my stupid problems

hes not one I want to lose
from my self pity
my lack of confidence
or my crazy issues

    Man, i can really relate to this.. both the blocking out and the being blocked out. It's a simple poem, but it speaks of something that is very true to the core of human nature. I also like the way you interpreted the title, nice approach, well done. Thanks for your entry and good luck!

    (i think you have a small typo in the 2nd line of the 2nd part, i think you meant whine not wine)

    this is an awesome poem and i love how you have written this. a lot of people dont tell others what is going on because they think no-one will believe them or help them, and its sad and hard to be the person who wants to help. great poem. good luck in the contest and keep writing
