No Help

Dont thank me
For helping you
I have been of no help
and we both know it
If I wanted to help
I would slap you once
Then shake you hard
and say
Stop medicating
with alcohol
At 50
havent you noticed
it doesnt change anything?
I'd shake some more
and say
Turn around
Look at your fears
Face the feelings
Get help facing the feelings
They will not destroy you
No matter how scary the look
THIS will destroy you
THIS gets you raped
and hit and homeless
and in the gutter
THIS can kill you
and probably will

I've been of no help at all
I hope someone will
Why dont you?
