I went to get some pills today,
Little, nearly forgotten drops of hope.
Warning signs came upon me and
I had to ask for help.
I went for a run today, tried to sweat the fear away.
It waits, patient for the next day, with far greater stamina than I.
I need to ask for help.
I looked at a knife today
sharp, serrated, welcoming teeth.
It speaks to me of sleep and rest,
of help.

Good for you for asking for help. You wrote a good poem and I hope you continue to write and get your feelings out. It helps.
I should look at the pills - the correct dose of course. Those knives are dangerous, I say!
I don't know your situation though.
Is should point out this is more reflective than a desperate cry for help. I have a situation but I know it well. I am new to the idea of writing poetry but I think it might help.
