No Help for the Helpless

Stuck in a travesty 
Pause, Play, Repeat 
There is no end 
The thoughts continue 
There is no hope 
The depression persists 
And its killing you 
To not have a clear 
explanation or definition 
of self, in the darkness
there is no light 
And its killing you 
To know that the 
only person who 
can help you 
is You 
But you 
don't know how 
You don't know 
if you want to 
be helped 
If you deserve 
love or kindness 
If you have earned
any kind of respect 
You don't know 
what to do
in the current moment 
or in the next 
You are not a victim 
of anything other than 
your own abuse 
But the pain keeps
getting worse 
Even as a child 
your imagination 
ran wild, 
you dove deep 
into fear 
and away from 
love 
Darling, you need 
help from Above.
