When help doesn’t appear to work

What can you say

And how can you help,

Someone who’s negative

And avoids the real world,

Who lives in the fantasy

Of the unreal internet,

And listens to that

More than the real people they met,

They believe their unworthy

Not capable of love,

How can you raise them up enough,

Because you are trying to help

But they ignore what you say,

Reject all your positive refrains,

It really frustrated me

Because I so want to help,

Not to feel good

But because I feel they deserve it,

To be loved by others

As well as themselves,

But is it just futile

They like living in this hell

That they have created for themselves,

Because this is the place

They are choosing to dwell,

Should I give up and just give in

And so they make the choices

After all it’s their life that they are living in,

And despite our misgivings

This is what they want,

And reflects in how they’re living

Yet they cry out for help,

And so I respond every time

But in the ends it just fucks with my mind,

Their negative outlook

And their defined thoughts,

Taken from the fantasy internet court,

Where people are fake

And tormenting trolls,

Who have extreme opinions

With no rationale at all,

Yet they are believed over me

Despite the fact I am here in reality,

I am not fake and I am here to help

But they just reject it,

So maybe I should say well

If that’s how you want it then ok,

And then I shut the door and just walk away,

Because there’s no more I can do

For this is the life that they seem to choose.

  1. We do need to choose what we read and what we believe is true. I had a friend that refused all advice and support. She chose to be negative and live in a negative state of mind. it was so sad!

  2. I understand the frustration of wanting to help someone but they reject it. I commend you for having a caring heart and I hope this doesn’t put you off helping others in the future xx
