Nothing

I’m reaching
Out to her
My bleeding heart
Just took another bullet
Knowing that she wants to die.
She denies everything
S*M*I*L*E*S
So superficial
And she knows it…
All of the answers we need.
She told us all of her secrets
Let her own heart bleed
Like mine is now,
Shared her life story
And expected us to do nothing…
But I never could just sit back
And see others in pain
And do nothing.
For I won’t believe
That nothing is all that can be done.

I wrote this poem about a friend of mine that is depressed, and also about how people always tell me "there is nothing you can do to help."

There is always something you can do. A simple smile or just let them know you care about htem and you love them. It may not seem like much, but coming from someone who has and is going down that same path, it's a hell of a lot.
