Helper needs Help

An Eighth Rant

Helper needs Help

Thinking too much,
Is a recipe for disaster
Like a flame,
Set to gasoline.

It starts with a flicker,
Then all of a sudden,
The pain rushes over you again.
Engulfed in heat and fire.

Thing is,
You want people to smell the fumes,
Come running with their buckets.
And their hoses.

But what breaks my heart,
Is that the one I love,
Never smells the fumes,
Barely even noticed.

Every.
Single.
Time.
Young innocence.

And I can`t show,
That I need her help,
Her water,
Her calm.

For if I do,
She will think simply
That the flame,
Was her own

And in turn her gasoline,
Is ignited once again.

So what do you do,
When the protector needs protecting,
When the policeman needs more backup,
When the plane needs another pilot,
When the helper needs help.

Who do you call,
When the public speaker loses his voice,
When the supporter needs support,
When the leader needs to be led,
When the helper needs help.

When the helper needs help,
But can`t ask for what is asked,
Can`t speak what must be spoken,
For the helper,

To simply get help.

I need help.

The Fish of the Sea.

Overthinking leads us into very dark scenarios. I know because I am a dreadful overthinker.

You have hit so many nails bang on the head with this. It is the helpers who often need the most support themselves because all the stuff they do us emotionally draining. And yet they are the last to get the help they need. 

Hope you are okay. Stay strong. I am always here to talk to if ever you need to x
