Only Surrender

You say you need help.
Do you really?
Outstretched hands keeps hitting us in the face.
While you continue to drown in the ocean of your mind.
The torture is skinning you alive.

But I guess you like the pain.

Your angry "I'm ok" is taken away by the wind.

How long?

The barrier that has separated us continues to impale you.
You are trying to keep us out.

Well,

You are only barracading yourself in.

We are the dogs who run for your frizby.
But you don't want to take it back.
You can't help someone
Who really don't want to help themselves.
