1-800-273-8255

This number is only going to do so much for me

It may have someone waiting to save me on the other end

But I don't have the courage to call

I feel like if I call

I'd just take another fall

Trying to call

Out for help.

That asking for help will just be a burden to others

While another

Is okay for reaching out

But I think that this number will help

But then again

Numbers are numbers

I need something more than digits signifying the way I may continue my life

I need more than something

More than this

I need your address so instead of calling

I can come

Instead of feeling like a burden

I can be held in your arms

Because I need you
