Stand

poem about trying to help someone who is not ready to be helped

I reached out to you
but you ignored my hand.

I offered to help you
but you refused to stand.

I tried to talk
but you turned a deaf ear.

I tried to make you listen
but you refused to hear.

I tried to hug you
but you pushed me away.

I tried to listen
but you had nothing to say.

I tried to comfort you
but you ignored my hand.

I tried to help you
but you refused to stand.
