Please Help Me

By Kelly Elizabeth Miller

I feel something, but
I don't know what it is.

I know I feel pain, I know I feel love.
I know I feel hurt. But there is much more.

I don't know what it is
and it is killing me.

God, it hurts so bad. I need someone
to hold me, to talk to me, to listen to me,
to love me.

I just need someone, anyone. Will you
help me please.
