#CanYouHelp
I'm a beggar at the door of life
Hands outstretched, asking for a reprieve
I've heard "no" so many times, it's true
But my need is real, my cup is empty, too
#CanYouHelp
I've given till I had nothing left to give
Now I'm asking, "Please, #canyouhelp me live?"
It feels like panhandling, shame and pride collide
But maybe, just maybe, help is on the other side....
It's okay to ask, even when it feels hard
Even when I've heard "no" like a tired refrain
My worth isn't defined by their response or lack
I deserve help( like I helped 'you'), I deserve a chance to breathe back
#CanYouHelp
Ask anyway, don't let fear hold me back
My need is valid, my voice is worth the crack
Help might come, might not, but I hope I'll be heard
And either way, somehow I'll rise, with a heart still undurd.
