Help Me Poem by Devin Iven

Yes, you know I’m here.
I oft drift through your mind.
Into my broken world you peer.
But never like what you find.

I see that look on your face.
As confused how to help as I.
I need to get out of this place.
But my confidence is a lie.

Alone I’ve been defeated so long.
Somebody please help me.
I’ve picked my dying song.
This body no longer needs to be.

My image fading from me fast.
I call out one last time.
This breath I breath may be my last.
Out of this pit, I climb.

Take me home, away from this.
Help me see the light.
Get me out of this abyss.
I’ll try with all my might.
