This is Not an Inspirational Poem

Everyone keeps saying
"if you need help just call"

the thing is
there are times
when a call
is like climbing a mountain

admitting
failure,
that the fight is lost,
the weight of the world is too heavy,
that one has grown too weary
and weak
to go on,
would take a strength that simply cannot be found...

...and sometimes...
the thought of

the peace

and the quiet

and rest

...of seeing that old dog again
...of hugging a loved one lost
...makes "help" the last thing one wants...
