Help


Nobody was there when I asked for help

so I stopped asking.

Nobody was there when I looked for help

so I stopped looking.

Nobody was there when I needed help

so I stopped needing it.

Nobody was there when I helped myself

so I stopped.

Nobody was there when I stopped

so I stopped everything else

because nobody was there.
