A CRY FOR HELP - Inspirational stories
This poem has come out of my need to reach those who find themselves in times of despair. It comes out of
my observations of those around me and seeing their helpless state.

<p>
My heart ached the other day <br>
As amidst the crowd I saw <br>
A young man so alone and lost<br>
That I could bear no more <br><br>
I walked across toward him <br>
And as I caught his eye <br>
The pleading that I saw within <br>
I just could not deny <br><br>
He turned his gaze toward me <br>
And as he looked my way <br>
He seemed to understand my thought <br>
Then he began to cry <br><br>
As I reached out to touch his hand <br>
I felt my heart would break <br>
For softly from amidst the tears <br>
I heard the young man speak <br>
"I wish I knew what I should do <br>
My life's not worth the living<br>
There is no soul to comfort me <br>
Or care what I am feeling<br><br>
I wake up every morning <br>
Hoping the day will bring<br>
Someone who will befriend me <br>
Or find some peace within <br><br>
But each new day is darker <br>
Even though the sky is blue <br>
I cannot feel the sun's rays <br>
'Cause my heart is broken through <br><br>
The boys tell me I can't fit in <br>
I just don't meet their need <br>
They're focused more on 'making it' <br>
And I cannot succeed <br><br>
My family's tried to understand<br>
And do the best it can <br>
But their ways didn't fit with mine <br>
So I just turned and ran <br><br>
I thought I could do better <br>
I shunned their love and care <br>
But now I know how right they were <br>
I wish they could be here <br><br>
I broke their hearts the day I left <br>
Thinking I knew it all <br>
Their voices still ring in my ears <br>
I still can hear them call <br><br>
Please help me, if you know the way <br>
Please tell me what to do <br>
I want to find my way back home <br>
Before my life is through <br><br>
I need to ask forgiveness <br>
Of those I've hurt so bad <br>
I love them so, I've got to go <br>
Back to the life I had <br><br>
I just can't bear to live this way <br>
So hopeless and alone <br>
I need some one to take my hand <br>
And show my way back home" <br><br>
There were no words that I could speak <br>
As tears fell from my eyes <br>
I held his hand and smiled at him <br>
And hoped he'd realize <br><br>
He'd found someone who'd take his hand <br>
I'd walk the way with him <br>
Until the time he finds his way<br>
Back home to love again
