How Do You Get Helped?

How do you go about life
Feeling like your broken heart is bleeding everywhere?
Feeling like you need to be there for your people
But you're so broken
And when people offer you help
You don't know how to tell them what you need
Because you just need.

How do you eat
When you don't know what day it is
Or what time it is
Or what you should be doing?
And your guts are full of rage.

Is this the way?
Getting one free wish
And not knowing what to ask.
Because even asking for the pain to go away
Can be a curse.
