Help Too Late

26 6 3
                                    

I desperately want to scream,
To kick and punch and swear,
Yet all that comes out is a stifled sob
And no one seems to care.

Everyone turns a blind eye.
Meanwhile, I'm turning to mush.
I'm barely dangling by a thread.
All it takes is
one
more
push.

Help has always come too late.
If only someone realized.
Sadly, society doesn't give a damn
Until someone's already died.
